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
