2022-12-06system: vm: Non-volatile 'run-vm.sh' creates a CoW image....Previously, copying the image would consume a lot of space and was I/O-intensive, to the point that the marionette connection timeout of 20s could be reached when running tests like "docker-system". * gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Pass 'format=' for each '-drive' option. (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script)[copy-image]: New variable. [builder]: Use it when VOLATILE? is false. Ludovic Courtès
2022-01-14system: vm: Change the writable image name....* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Change it. Mathieu Othacehe
2022-01-06system: vm: Restore default RAM size to 512MB....* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Restore it. Mathieu Othacehe
2021-12-23Remove VM generation dead-code....This code duplicates the (gnu system image) and (gnu build image) code. Using VM for image generation is not needed, not portable and really slow. Remove all the VM image generation code to make sure that only the image API is used. * gnu/build/vm.scm: Remove it. Move the qemu-command procedure to ... * gnu/build/marionette.scm: ... here. * gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Adapt it. * tests/modules.scm: Ditto. * gnu/tests/install.scm: Ditto. * gnu/system/vm.scm: Adapt it and remove expression->derivation-in-linux-vm, qemu-img, system-qemu-image/shared-store and system-docker-image procedures. * doc/guix.texi (G-Expressions): Adapt it. Mathieu Othacehe
2021-12-23system: vm: Use the image API to generate QEMU images....Also add a volatile? argument to the virtual-machine record. When volatile? is true generate a QEMU script that mounts an overlay on top of a read only storage. When volatile? is false, use a persistent, read-write storage. * gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Add a rw-image? argument to use a persistent storage. (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Add a volatile? argument and honor it. Use the image API to build the QEMU image. (<virtual-machine>)[volatile?]: New field. (virtual-machine-compiler): Pass the volatile? argument to the system-qemu-image/shared-store-script procedure. Mathieu Othacehe

2021-12-03system: vm: Remove the vga argument....* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Remove the "-vga std" argument that is the default since QEMU 2.2. Suggested-by: Attila Lendvai <attila@lendvai.name> Mathieu Othacehe
2021-12-03guix system vm: Add --no-graphic CLI argument....It configures QEMU to use the tty it was started in for IO (as opposed to opening a separate graphical window). This enables copy-pasting and scrollback. Exit QEMU with C-a x. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Also add the '-nographic' QEMU argument when called with #:graphic? #false. * guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Propagate the #:graphic? keyword arg. (perform-action): Add and propagate the #:graphic? keyword arg. (show-help): Add --no-graphic CLI arg. (%options): Process the new --no-graphic CLI arg. (process-action): Feed in the CLI arg through the #:graphic? keyword arg. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Add example to combine guix system and invoking the vm start script into one command. Split the description of the various options into separate paragraphs. Add a paragraph to describe --no-graphic. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org> Attila Lendvai
2021-11-20vm: <virtual-machine> defaults to using 'qemu-minimal'....'qemu-minimal' is enough for system tests, which is the main (only?) use of <virtual-machine>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (<virtual-machine>)[qemu]: Default to QEMU-MINIMAL. Ludovic Courtès

Mathieu Othacehe
2020-05-05image: Add a new API....Raw disk-images and ISO9660 images are created in a Qemu virtual machine. This is quite fragile, very slow, and almost unusable without KVM. For all these reasons, add support for host image generation. This implies the use new image generation mechanisms. - Raw disk images: images of partitions are created using tools such as mke2fs and mkdosfs depending on the partition file-system type. The partition images are then assembled into a final image using genimage. - ISO9660 images: the ISO root directory is populated within the store. GNU xorriso is then called on that directory, in the exact same way as this is done in (gnu build vm) module. Those mechanisms are built upon the new (gnu image) module. * gnu/image.scm: New file. * gnu/system/image.scm: New file. * gnu/build/image: New file. * gnu/local.mk: Add them. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Rename to system-disk-image-in-vm. * gnu/ci.scm (qemu-jobs): Adapt to new API. * gnu/tests/install.scm (run-install): Ditto. * guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Ditto.
