| Summary | 0005541: Add KVM and libvirt to firefly.gnunet.org | ||||
| Description | For the purpose of using arbitrary job runners - for CI and other purposes - it is preferred to have some form of environment isolation, and the ability to run various kernels. KVM and libvirt are what I would recommend and prefer, due to availability of packages, documentation, and community support. The server `firefly.gnunet.org`, is running GuixSD. We need to require some new services in its server config. I will attach a full example config of a similar setup I've used in the past. I believe the relevant lines are just these: 9 (use-service-modules networking mcron desktop virtualization) ... 52 (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" 53 "audio" "video" "kvm" "libvirt")) ... 71 (service libvirt-service-type 72 (libvirt-configuration 73 (unix-sock-group "libvirt"))) 74 (service virtlog-service-type 75 (virtlog-configuration 76 (max-clients 1000))) | ||||

Thanks, should be done today. I'm only stuck with firefly building almost everything from source because the commit is too old (0.16.0 release now). |
|
|
Done. Can you confirm functionality? |
|
|
Note, ch3 is running tests on firefly right now, so if it's still occupied, wait with anything resource intensive (or wait in general). |
|
|
Is this still an issue? |
|
|
Somehow I got an 'requested feedback' Email about this. Please ask ch3 yourself, I haven't been active on the servers in the last months. |
|
|
Though we no longer use GuixSD, so maybe this is resolved? (others will know more) |
|
|
This issue is resolved. KVM and libvirt are installed on firefly. |
