looking for a ma[g|k]efile

how should I build this?

Hi! Thanks for your interest in the project. Currently its still very WIP, but the docs are already on the TODO list. The API for both mounts and migrations are (I hope) more or less final, and we don't depend on any CGo etc., so if you want to try it out now anyways you can ^^

More info is in the --help respectively, but see https://github.com/pojntfx/r3map/tree/main/cmd/r3map-mount-benchmark and https://github.com/pojntfx/r3map/tree/main/cmd/r3map-migration-benchmark respectively for a API use example in the meantime. Again this will all be in the docs soon, but this is probably the simplest way of validating it right now:

sudo modprobe nbd
go build -o /tmp/r3map-mount-benchmark ./cmd/r3map-mount-benchmark/ && sudo /tmp/r3map-mount-benchmark --verbose # For the mount API
go build -o /tmp/r3map-migration-benchmark ./cmd/r3map-migration-benchmark/ && sudo /tmp/r3map-migration-benchmark # For the migration API

Just a quick update on this: The thesis is now in peer-review, and I'm finishing up the docs here in the meantime!

right when I went on vacay. :-) how'd the thesis review go?

Sadly still ongoing, and it looks like it will be another month due to uni staff shortages. I might just release the library before it tbh, and put a disclaimer in the thesis 🤷‍♀️

Thesis review is done now and it passed. I'll probably be officially tagging this etc. in time for my KubeCon talk on Nov 7, where I'll also be presenting it: https://sched.co/1R2ok ^^ - the repo that we use this project for is also OSS now, but very minimal and MVP, so I'd say its still best to wait till KubeCon NA before starting to use it: https://github.com/loopholelabs/architekt - docs at https://github.com/loopholelabs/architekt/blob/master/docs/DEMO.md

Closing this one since we have proper docs and examples now :)
