FreeBSD Guest Virtualization Configuration

puck's Issues

SysV IPC support

pixie.conf should contain a configuration option to enable/disable SysV IPC at the hypervisor level for the jails.

Update server security group to include exception for pixie port.

When creating a server, the security group should contain an exception to allow connection to port 8080, 22 and ping.

Use meta-data api to get vm_id and hostname

Jail management

Pixie should provide an interface to start/stop/reload installed jails.

IP address added multiple times in /etc/rc.conf

Puck DB Seed

A way to seed the database from files (yaml/json?) needs to be added. A new config option could be used (like --seed)

Environments

Environments used to be hard-coded in Puck.

They recently got moved to a persistent-backed collection but a controller and associated views need to be created to allow adding/modifying/deleting them.

We also need to figure a way to seed the database. A separate ticket will be created for that.

New VM duplicated.

When launching a VM with puck, another entry is created instead of re-using the newly generated one.

There should be a way to make available some data to the instance using openstack nova api for it to request the proper registration.

Hypervisor PF rules for jail networking

Pixie needs the ability to generate pf rules for jail networking.

The different available rules should be stored in Puck.

SSH Key handling

Puck must provide a list of ssh keys for pixie to install in the jails/hypervisor.

• Install selected SSH keys at hypervisor level.
• Install selected SSH keys in each jail

Database Seed

There needs to be a quick way to seed the database with some values such has available environments, images and ssh keys.

The values could be stored in a /db_seed folder and be either in the json or yaml format.

A new config option should be added to run the seed operation.

EC2 virtualization support

Puck should support multiple virtualization backend such as EC2, Eucalyptus and OpenStack

The euca2ools interface will be used. See http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/Euca2oolsUsing

NTP/Date/Timezone configuration

Puck should provide a way to set NTP, date and timezone configuration to virtual machines.

FreeBSD comes with NTPD and can easily be configured in addition to providing a base date/timezone.

Pre-configured deployments

Puck should contain a list of pre-made deployment configurations. (Essentially the config file pixie saves).
