Running Firecracker in Docker container #1999

Closed mazzy89 closed 3 years ago

mazzy89 commented 4 years ago

The getting started explains all the steps to download Firecracker and run it creating a new socket.

I would like to run it as a Docker container and wire a contribution.

Do you see any obstacles? Which base image would you recommend to start?

Hello @mazzy89 ,

Sorry for the late response. Can you provide more detail about what you want to achieve. What do you mean by running Firecracker as a Docker container? What base image are you referring to?

mazzy89 commented 3 years ago

Hello @dianpopa

I've actually achieved that.

I was able to spin up Firecracker inside a Docker container and bootstrap Flatcar Linux as OS.

Thank you for replying here

Oh that is really cool! If you ever feel like it, you could help share the knowledge of your achievement in a PR. A great place for this would be our dev setup documentation.

Thank you!

mazzy89 commented 3 years ago

Sure. I would like to share this achievement in a PR. Thanks

I'd like to share a relevant achievement.

We have set up GitHub Actions CI environment for integration testing of an entire FaaS (Knative/Kubernetes) cluster with multiple Firecracker MicroVMs in a Docker container (by extending kind framework for K8s CI/CD).
