Launching my blog with a walkthrough of virtme-ng: boot your kernel in QEMU, try cross-arch builds, run kselftests, and offload compilation to a remote machine. I'll be using virtme-ng on future posts.

virtme-ng v1.33 is available! Now you can run amd64 instances on non-x86 architectures (which means you can use arm64 as your kernel dev / testing platform with vng). Plus, more bug fixes and security improvements.

Check out the full changes here:

土日に vmtest を触ってみた。結構イイ感じなんだけど、Go で書いたテストで使う場合、/tmp を mount してくれないので、ちょっとめんどくさい感じを受けました。多分 virtme でまだ十分かなあ…というのが今のところの感想です。

virtme-ng v1.37 has been released with the initial support for systemd. You can now test apps that depend on systemd inside the virtualized environment.

virtme-ng v1.32 is out with exciting new features, such as the remote (vsock) console and ssh support, so now you can attach to a running vng instance from another terminal or use ssh/scp!

virtme-ng v1.38 is out! This is a pretty stable update, bringing only bug fixes. Most notably, the infamous "Stale file handle" errors with virtiofsd are finally gone. If you've hit them before, you know how annoying they were, so time to update!

Finished the overhaul of kernel-development-flake ✨ inspired by virtme-ng which didn’t support NixOS. kdf is also a rust-based /init using virtiofs. You can now do fast live dev of kernel modules/in-tree, no more waiting for nix rebuilds github.com/jordanisaacs...
