 andi- | The current VM infrastructure doesnt allow that. You have to run an additional daemon | 07:13:39 |
 Mic92 (Old) | Could you run two VMs for that? | 11:48:55 |
| andi- | No, you have to pass a socket to one of the daemons to QEMUs CLI. Forking off the software TPM before starting QEMU is probably good enough in a sandboxed test. For interactive testing you want more process control. | 11:49:44 |
| Mic92 (Old) | There is some bridging possible with vsockets, but I guess it would get hacky | 11:50:04 |
| Mic92 (Old) | Maybe socat? | 11:50:10 |
| andi- | Yeah, probably but not very elegant. Would be nicer to teach our test driver to take care of "sidecars" | 11:50:31 |
| Mic92 (Old) | vsocket also need root with qemu I just remeber | 11:51:07 |
| Mic92 (Old) | *remember | 11:51:12 |
| Mic92 (Old) | It would be also nice for virtiofsd to have qemu side cars | 11:51:38 |
| andi- | yeah but that also requires root access IIRC | 11:51:58 |
| Mic92 (Old) | Why because virtiofsd needs to change uids? | 11:53:58 |
| Mic92 (Old) | Maybe there could be a uid mapping mode in virtiofsd to map some uid to uid 0 | 11:54:14 |
| Mic92 (Old) | That would be enough for the nix store. | 11:54:24 |
