Support libvirt vagrant provider #47

Open olberger opened 5 years ago

olberger commented 5 years ago

It could be interesting to be able to use libvirt (for qemu/kvm) on Linux as an alternative to virtualbox.

Would be interesting to verify any gain on performance...

olberger commented 5 years ago

It works !

I have committed in my libvirt branch the needed change: https://github.com/olberger/antidote-selfmedicate/commit/69b5d173f6b2200dff0ddd4154962b9c7860b870 Basically all there is to it is using a Vagrant base box built for libvirt :-)

@olberger Vagrant removed libvirt, are you using a plugin to add libvirt support back in? Would you mind linking documentation on how you were able to get this running?

olberger commented 5 years ago

I guess I must be using https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt

I think I saw mentions of @cloudtoad struggling with it on twitter yesterday, and maybe he could confirm about the necessary docs additions ? Of course I can try and add some useful bits. Maybe something along those lines: https://github.com/olberger/vagrant-k8s-kubevirt-katacontainers#install-pre-requisites (not mine originally) ...

and by the way, you might be interested to have a look at this repo, which demos how to secure containers with KataContainers (re MP3)

Of course, another option could be to just use minikube which is able to use libvirt directly, when on Linux and if qemu/kvm is preferred... but that reverses the point of using Vagrant genrally :-/

Or we could try Vagrant with no virtualizer to start minikube with qemu... if that's even feasable ?...

Too many options ;)

I'm a bit doubtful on the last one, i.e. vagrant doing pretty much nothing... sorry.

I added the libvirt provider to the vagrantfile and it works well. You need to update antidote-config.yml to set the provider to libvirt and you need to install the vagrant-libvirt plugin.
