[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-sandbox "Sahara Desert" release 0.5.0
by Daniel P. Berrange
I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox,
version 0.5.0, is now available for download
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/sandbox/
The packages are GPG signed with
Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R)
The libvirt-sandbox package provides an API layer on top of libvirt-gobject
which facilitates the cration of application sandboxes using virtualization
technology. An application sandbox is a virtual machine or container that
runs a single application binary, directly from the host OS filesystem.
In other words there is no separate guest operating system install to build
or manager.
At this point in time libvirt-sandbox can create sandboxes using either LXC
or KVM, and should in theory be extendable to any libvirt driver. This
release has focused entirely on improving the virt-sandbox-service tool
This release focused on major feature development.
Changed in this release:
- Switch to use persistent libvirt configuration files for
service sandboxes
- Store service configs in /etc/libvirt-sandbox/services/$NAME/
instead of /etc/libvirt-sandbox/services/$NAME.sandbox to
allow storage of multiple files per sandbox
- Add a new 'virt-sandbox-service upgrade NAME' command,
to be run by admin for all existing service sandboxes to
upgrade their configuration to be compatible with the new
release
- Remove start, stop, list commands from virt-sandbox-service,
with recomendation to use start, destroy & list commands in
virsh instead.
- Remove duplicate -u option in man page
- Update man page examples
- Stop generating a UNIT_sandbox.target unit, instead letting
the sandbox unit tie into multi-user.target as normal
- Remove unimplemented APIs for graphical sandboxes, to be
re-added at a later date when actually functional
- Add padding to public structs, to facilitate preservation
of public ABI compatibility in future
- Add note about default libvirt URIs in man page
- Fix cloning of sandboxes
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release
Regards,
Daniel
