Running locally with Vagrant

The AtmanOS includes a Vagrantfile whch describes a development Xen environment. To use this development environment, you'll need:

If you're on OS X and use Homebrew, you can get these with:

$ brew cask install vagrant virtualbox

Build AtmanOS

If you've just downloaded the AtmanOS project, run bin/setup to download the required dependencies and build AtmanOS.

Once you've run bin/setup, rebuilding AtmanOS can be done with make build.

Provision the virtual machine

From the root directory of the AtmanOS project, run:

$ vagrant up

The first time you run this, it will take a while, as it needs to install Xen and reboot the virtual machine.

Once the command completes, you should be able to connect to the machine by running vagrant ssh.

At any time you can use vagrant halt to shut down the virtual machine, or vagrant pause to pause it for faster boot later.

Run an AtmanOS kernel

For this section, we'll be using the hello program from the repository of AtmanOS example programs.

Download the program with:

$ go get github.com/atmanos/example/hello

You can run hello locally to see that it first prints "Hello, world", and then prints the current time every few seconds.

But we want to run the hello program on Xen!

To do that, we'll first need to build a kernel image with atman:

$ bin/atman build -o vagrant/images/hello \
  github.com/atmanos/example/hello

We told atman to put the built image in vagrant/images. That allows up to transfer the image to the Vagrant environment with:

$ vagrant rsync

Finally, we can run our hello kernel with:

$ vagrant ssh -- startvm hello

The startvm command is a wrapper for a few Xen commands, stopping any existing machine with the same name, and then starting a new machine with the default template.

To see the output of hello, attach to the console with another Xen wrapper:

$ vagrant ssh -- console hello
Hello, world
The current time is 2016-04-23 23:53:05.651799283 +0000 UTC
The current time is 2016-04-23 23:53:10.651806585 +0000 UTC
The current time is 2016-04-23 23:53:15.651807123 +0000 UTC

Success!

Now we can stop the hello machine with:

$ vagrant ssh -- sudo xl destroy hello
