network and hostfile access configuration about mvisor HOT 8 CLOSED

For host file system, you could use virtio-fs device, there is a config sample in sample.yaml.
For local network, mvisor only support UIP as backend network now, you could map the port from guest to host.

Ok, thank you for the answer.
But can you give me some info on the syntax of the yaml file to make these entries.
concerning fs access, the virtio-fs device has entries for fs size and inode count, so I am unsure how to use existing directory of the host file system.
concerning host network, I do not recognise the syntax of the according entry for mapping host port and what changes do I have to made on the host?
There is no documents for that, so I have problems to make them.
Thanks

• class: virtio-fs
  path: /tmp/fuse
  disk_name: mvisor-fs
  disk_size: 2G
  inode_count: 200
  disk_size is the config of virtio-fs disk total size for guest vm, inode_count is the limit of total file count in virtio-fs disk.
  if you want to map an existing directory, make sure the disk_size and inode_count are bigger than them in the directory.

• class: virtio-network
  mac: 00:50:00:11:22:33
  map: tcp:0.0.0.0:8022-:22
  Here is an example of port map. It maps the port 22 in guest vm to host 8022.

Ok,
where should the disk mvisor-fs appear in the vm? are there further configure steps in the vm necessary?
concerning network:
how to map host network to a port?
Thanks, woecj

from mvisor.

the mvisor-fs disk would appear when you install virtio-fs guest driver, for more information, check https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/.
buddy, local network was not accessible because we only implemented UIP, the only way you can try was mapping port, it will help you access port in vm from host or redirect url in guest to another

from mvisor.

ok, fs access running now.

Is there any source for configuring uiP stack for amd64 machine?

from mvisor.

@woecj uip is the default stack for virtio-network device. You don't need to do any further configuration. Just one line is enough:

     -class: virtio-network

uip creates a NAT for the VM to access the internet. I'm sure you can access the host local network from the guest OS.

from mvisor.

You are right. Seems starting the virtio-fs service in the vm also started the virtio-network
Access to local network ok now
Thanks!
