firectl uses a hardcoded firecracker API socket path #3

Closed nmeyerhans closed 5 years ago

nmeyerhans commented 5 years ago

Firectl uses ./firecracker.sock as the firecracker API socket path. This is hardcoded and there's no mechanism for overriding it. This should be fixed:

The default API socket should be located in a proper temporary location.
The user should be able to override the default behavior and provide a specific name if desired.

This is a must needed flag. For now, I get around by creating a separate directory for each firecracker.sock file.

Closing since this option was added in #11. @srikantpatnaik: Hopefully this meets your needs, if not let us know!

@IRCody Built and tested. Works as expected. Thanks.
