14 Aug '13

While we've been working on it for a little while, we've never really had any content on libvirt.org focusing on the libvirt sandbox toolkit. To address this content gap, I've started a small website to provide useful info around their design, technology & usage. http://sandbox.libvirt.org/ Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-sandbox "Sahara Desert" release 0.5.0
by Daniel P. Berrange 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

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 -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.1.1
by Daniel Veillard 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

As planned I tagged the release candidate 1 for libvirt 1.1.1 in git, I also made tarball and rpms available on the ftp: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ There is still some patches not completely ready after initial review it is probably safe to push the simplest ones, but not big sets now. Bug fixes are okay until final release obviously ! The release seems to work fine in my local testing (my fedora 19 crashed when shutdown a window guest, but that sounds like a kernel problem). Goal is to release next tuesday, please give it a try, and report problems :-) thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-sandbox "Owami Desert" release 0.2.1
by Daniel P. Berrange 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox, version 0.2.1, 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 Changed in this release: - Requires libvirt-glib >= 0.1.7 - ABI change: Removed GVirSandboxCleaner class - Don't add link in /var/log/journal for image based containers - Don't hold open libvirt connection when displaying service sandbox consoles - Record container UUID in config for service sandboxes - Add missing RPMs deps - Allow custom mounts to be specified to virt-sandbox-service - Fix misc bugs in sandbox creation/deletion - Use 'guest bind' for configuring image based service sandboxes - Allow NIC MAC address to be chosen - Include systemd-initctl.socket in service sandboxes by default to allow libvirt initiated graceful shutdown Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
