VM Config

Shared configuration schema for host-to-guest communication.

Purpose

This package defines the Config struct that is:

Serialized as JSON by the host when creating a VM's config disk
Deserialized by the guest init binary during boot

By defining this in a shared package, the host and guest code stay in sync without duplication.

Usage

The host writes this config to /config.json on the config disk (attached as /dev/vdc). The guest init binary mounts this disk and reads the JSON configuration.

Fields

Entrypoint/Cmd/Workdir: Container execution parameters from the OCI image
Env: Environment variables (merged from image + instance overrides)
Network: Guest IP, gateway, DNS configuration
GPU: Whether GPU passthrough is enabled
VolumeMounts: Block devices to mount inside the guest
InitMode: Either "exec" (container-like) or "systemd" (full VM)

Types ¶

type Config ¶

type Config struct {
	// Container execution parameters
	Entrypoint []string `json:"entrypoint"`
	Cmd        []string `json:"cmd"`
	Workdir    string   `json:"workdir"`

	// Environment variables
	Env map[string]string `json:"env"`

	// Network configuration
	NetworkEnabled bool   `json:"network_enabled"`
	GuestIP        string `json:"guest_ip,omitempty"`
	GuestCIDR      int    `json:"guest_cidr,omitempty"`
	GuestGW        string `json:"guest_gw,omitempty"`
	GuestDNS       string `json:"guest_dns,omitempty"`

	// Volume mounts
	VolumeMounts []VolumeMount `json:"volume_mounts,omitempty"`

	// Init mode: "exec" (default) or "systemd"
	InitMode string `json:"init_mode"`

	// Boot optimizations
	SkipKernelHeaders bool `json:"skip_kernel_headers,omitempty"`
	SkipGuestAgent    bool `json:"skip_guest_agent,omitempty"`
}

Config is the configuration passed to the guest init binary via config.json. This struct is serialized by the host (lib/instances/configdisk.go) and deserialized by the guest init binary (lib/system/init).

type VolumeMount ¶

type VolumeMount struct {
	Device        string `json:"device"`
	Path          string `json:"path"`
	Mode          string `json:"mode"` // "ro", "rw", or "overlay"
	OverlayDevice string `json:"overlay_device,omitempty"`
}

VolumeMount represents a volume mount configuration.
