Hi in there, As e3 was initially dedicated as a build host, I started installing some VM for that purpose that anyone can access easily. But I didn't document all this as not really terminated. A usage is more explicit :
$ ssh ssh@e3 help
Usage: ssh {<opt>} <action>@e3.enlightenment.org <vm>
Available opt:
-t for ssh
-X or -Y for vnc/rdp
Available actions:
monitor
rdp
ssh
vnc
Available VM:
freebsd-i386
linux-amd64
linux-arm
linux-i386
linux-mips
linux-powerpc
winxp
Connection to e3 closed.
So guys, you can do :
# Access using SSH to freebsd-i386
$ ssh -t ssh@e3 freebsd-i386
# Access to qemu monitor
$ ssh -t monitor@e3 freebsd-i386
# Access to qemu VNC screen
$ ssh -t monitor@e3 freebsd-i386
# Access using rdp to winxp
$ ssh -t rdp@e3 winxp
e3 is fixed since some minutes now, but all this is not (yet) really
functional, this need some work.
What do you think about that ?
We need to able to clone VM if needed, build new one, stop, start, pause etc..
For pure compilation stuff, I would like to not use VM as it's not
really performance killer. I also don't recommand to do that on main
host as system become crap fast. Another solution is to maintain some
chroot so host perf can be guarantee.
What to you think ?
A proposal of needed chroot :
- linux-x86
- linux-x86_64
- linux-x32
About distro ? I'm familiar to gentoo that make better choice for long
term purpose, but we can have chroot for many distro :
- gentoo
- debian-lenny
- debian-squeeze
- RHEL5
- RHEL6
- Arch linux
- ...
A proposal of needed VM
- freebsd7-i386
- freebsd7-amd64
- debian-arm6
- debian-arm7
- debian-mips
- debian-mips64
- debian-powerpc
- debian-powerpc64
Other things ?
