Re: [libvirt] Getting Introduced to the Community
Hello Gaurav,
First, thanks a lot for being interested in that idea!
You said that you tried Daniel's proof of concept, but did you manage to
get a disk image out of a docker image? I guess not... or you have some
patches to send back ;)
In this project I already see these steps:
* Get Daniel's code to generate disk images again. It looks like a few
things have changed on the docker side in the meantime.
* Integrate it with existing virt-sandbox project
* Add the missing features in libvirt-lxc to run containers with those
images. So far I see at least setting UID, PWD and environement
variables within the container, but I may forget some.
* Get virt-sandbox to run docker containers properly
Don't hesitate to also join the libvirt fun on #virt on the OFTC IRC
channel. My nick there is cbosdonnat.
Kind regards,

Hi,
My name is Gaurav Bansal and I would like to introduce myself to the
developers of this community. I'm (technically) a junior in the
Computer Science degree program at Birla Institute of Technology and
Science Pilani. I am well versed with Python, C/C++, Java, PHP and
bash. I have been using the qemu tool and the virt-manager for almost
6 months now and I'm comfortable with it.
I was very much fascinated with the concept of Virtualization and
wanted to explore it more and what could be a better way to start off
than KVM.
I was having a look at the GSoC 2015 ideas page and the particular
project of Running docker containers using virt-sandbox. I have some
basic information about the docker images and have worked using the
libvirt API. I have also tried the proof of concept uploaded by Daniel
for downloading the docker images.
Could you please guide me through where should I look forward that
would be helpful for the project?
