Docker QEMU VM

Intro

This is a qemu-vm inside a docker container, for use with my Kubernetes cluster at home.

The entrypoint script sets up the necessary tap interfaces and bridges for each network interface you specify (defaults to eth0). Additionally, you can use --passthrough-first-nic to attempt to have the VM configured with the pod network (this generates some configuration based on routes, assigned IP address and DNS configuration).

Quickstart

The helm charts provided assume you have persistent storage working within your cluster. The default StorageClass is cephfs. Currently the requested PV size is not functional.

$ helm repo add qemu-vm https://lnattrass.github.io/docker-qemu-vm/
$ cat <<EOF > ./userdata
#cloud-config
password: ubuntu
chpasswd: { expire: False }
EOF
$ helm 
$ helm install --name=test --set=cpu=1 --set=replicas=2 --set-file userdata=./userdata
$ kubectl get pods
NAME                           READY   STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
test-vm-0                   0/1     ContainerCreating   0          3s
$ kubectl logs -f test-vm-0 
$ kubectl exec -it test-vm-0 /vm/console 
Press CTRL+O to exit the console

.. you should see ubuntu-18.04 booting ..

Future

Planning to include a metadata service, and the ability to provide secrets/kubernetes service account through to the VM.
