I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox,
version 0.1.1, 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:
- Fix typos in POD docs for some classes
- Only depend on libvirt-daemon-{kvm,qemu,lxc}, not
full libvirt RPM.
- Switch to YUM for extracting package file list
- Bind mount whole of /var rather than only some subdirs
- Validate unit files exist before creating sandbox
- Fixes to population of files in /etc and /var
- Finish 'clone' command for copying sandboxes
- Populate /etc/machine-id file
- Fix systemd dependancies for bulk start/stop of containers
- Symlink container journal directory into host filesystem
- Rename sandbox.target to multi-user.target
- Fix attachment to running containers
Thanks to Dan Walsh for basically doing all the work in this release
Regards,
Daniel
