Description

With the recent addition of nvmm, it would be interesting to have something that eases the VM lifecycle, like devel/libvirt . This is a feature request to myself to, at least try to, make devel/libvirt usable with nvmm under DragonFly.

  • In another:
$ telnet localhost 4444

  • Preliminary work done, you can run VMs with libvirt and nvmm accelerated!
  • It's work in progress, expect unstability

Testing vagrant

The Vagrantfile needs this:

  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
    libvirt.driver = "nvmm" 
  end

Once done, testing a Debian image:
