[QUESTION] Plan to add Viosock driver to release #1185

Open Iziram opened 2 weeks ago

Iziram commented 2 weeks ago

Hi there, I'm building stuff on top of VSock and this driver makes it possible to use my project on both linux and windows. For now i've been using it by bypassing the Driver Signatures but it can't be used in a production environment which is not great for my project.

Is there any plan to add the viosock drivers to the virtio-win release ? ( To have it signed properly and let windows auto install it )

Hi, There are no plans for the next several months.

I would also like for viosock driver to be included in the ISO release. It would allow Incus to support Incus agent for Windows VM, which depends on viosock driver. https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/how-to-connect-to-remote-windows-vm/20210/15

Definitely we can add Viosock driver to the virtio-win build and to the ISO layout. But doubt that our (RH virtio-win) QE team will be able to verify or at least run some preliminary WHQL and functional testing on this driver in the nearest future.

Anyway we will not be able to include Viosock binaries in the flowing public release which should be ready in a couple of weeks or so, but I will try to make Viosock binaries public asap.

Best, Vadim.
