Hello folks.
I've been working on a qemu version of NAbox (thanks @mental nacelle for the initial push) and trying to gauge the interest for alternative platforms.
If you're interested in other platforms than VMware can you comment with your use case ?
Qcow2 and vhdx images (experimental) are now available in the downloads https://nabox.org/downloads/

Hyper-V ?

how do you traditionaly import a VM in Hyper-V ? What's the format?
waxen terrace
yep that might work
potent smelt
aye. Azure(hyper-v) is what I'm using and have setup.
I do have some notes/docs on how to do the import if you want them to get a jump start on

Hi @waxen terrace we currently looking on KubeVirt with Kubermatic
waxen terrace
qcow2 would work ?
silent geyser
Looks supported
waxen terrace
ok I added the qcow2 to the downloads https://nabox.org/downloads/

Regarding HyperV, I would need someone to deploy a stock flatcar hyperv image and boot with an additional disk, then send me the output of ip a s and fdisk -l

is there an easy way to log onto the stock flatcar image? a default password?
waxen terrace
damnit... I don't think there is
I'll try to make an image with at least the password
fallen dirge
is it ok if I execute your commands on your qcow2 image that I have converted to vhdx?
waxen terrace
the actual vhdx might lead to different results I'm affraid
fallen dirge
maybe if I reset the root password with init=/bin/sh on the stock flatcar?
waxen terrace
You could try that, but I'm not even sure the root partition is mounted at that point
waxen terrace
noïce !
thank you that should be relatively easy, same as qemu
oh
cat /proc/cmdline ?
fallen dirge
waxen terrace
all good
fallen dirge
do you know how I can configure the network for the qcow2 image?
waxen terrace
ah very good point indeed.
https://nabox.org/faq/#reset-network-configuration
You can follow this, and use "eth0" instead of "ens192"

the .zip is the HyperV image
Network has to be configured manually, but with some luck, the rest works
fallen dirge
Do I need a second disk?
waxen terrace
you do
Hold on though there might be a mistake
fallen dirge
I think the system is detected as sdb and the second disk as sda
waxen terrace
mmm. not good, every time ?
You can re-download
fallen dirge
I rebooted the VM and now it works
fallen dirge
this seems to work, I'm adding a FAS
waxen terrace
nice !
I'll fix the network thing so you can configure from the ui. What's the default for hyperv, does it take dhcp ? Is there a vmware tools like ?
fallen dirge
I think it is very basic on hyper-v, you configure a vSwitch and a VLAN, there is no tool to configure network.
and I don't have DHCP on my network so I'm unable to test dhcp
waxen terrace
fair enough, so every time you deploy a template like that you have to cli to configure IP ?
fallen dirge
yes 😦
waxen terrace
ok, that's not too bad
waxen terrace
@potent smelt Damn, the azure flatcar image is more than 10G, couldn't uncompress it ! It's a vhd file, not vhdx
potent smelt
yea, they seem pretty large for what's in them. not sure if it's a compression issue or the thing just sucks up that much space
cause Azure loves to nickle/dime you to death
silent geyser
ok I added the qcow2 to the downloads https://nabox.org/downloads/
You were quicker then we with building the infrastructure 😂
