*Build virtual machine image from Docker images*
The project is heavily inspired by the [article](https://iximiuz.com/en/posts/from-docker-container-to-bootable-linux-disk-image/) and the work done by [iximiuz](https://github.com/iximiuz) on [docker-to-linux](https://github.com/iximiuz/docker-to-linux).
Many thanks to him.
**Status**: *alpha*

## Supported Environments:
**Only Linux is supported.**
If you want to run it on **OSX** or **Windows** (the last one is totally untested) you can do it using Docker:
```bash
alias d2vm='docker run --rm -i -t --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $PWD:/build -w /build linkacloud/d2vm'
```
**Starting from v0.1.0, d2vm automatically run build and convert commands inside Docker when not running on linux**.
## Supported VM Linux distributions:
Working and tested:
- [x] Ubuntu
- [x] Debian
- [x] Alpine
- [x] CentOS
Unsupported:
- [ ] RHEL
The program uses the `/etc/os-release` file to discover the Linux distribution and install the Kernel,
if the file is missing, the build cannot succeed.
Obviously, **Distroless** images are not supported.
## Getting started
Clone the git repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/linka-cloud/d2vm && cd d2vm
```
Install using the Go tool chain:
```bash
go install ./cmd/d2vm
which d2vm
```
```
# Should be install in the $GOBIN directory
/go/bin/d2vm
```
Or use an alias to the **docker** image:
```bash
alias d2vm='docker run --rm -i -t --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $PWD:/build -w /build linkacloud/d2vm'
which d2vm
```
```
d2vm: aliased to docker run --rm -i -t --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $PWD:/build -w /build linkacloud/d2vm
```
### Converting an existing Docker Image to VM image:
```bash
d2vm convert --help
```
```
Convert Docker image to vm image
Usage:
d2vm convert [docker image] [flags]
Flags:
-d, --debug Enable Debug output
-f, --force Override output qcow2 image
-h, --help help for convert
-o, --output string The output image, the extension determine the image format. Supported formats: qcow2 qed raw vdi vhd vmdk (default "disk0.qcow2")
-p, --password string The Root user password (default "root")
--pull Always pull docker image
-s, --size string The output image size (default "10G")
```
Create an image based on the **ubuntu** official image:
```bash
sudo d2vm convert ubuntu -o ubuntu.qcow2 -p MyP4Ssw0rd
```
```

You can now run your ubuntu image using the created `ubuntu.qcow2` image with **qemu**:
```bash
./qemu.sh ununtu.qcow2
```

Type `poweroff` to shutdown the vm.
### Building a VM Image from a Dockerfile
The example directory contains very minimalistic examples:
```bash
cd examples
```
*ubuntu.Dockerfile* :
```dockerfile
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt update && apt install -y openssh-server && \
echo "PermitRootLogin yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config \
```
When building the vm image, *d2vm* will create a root password, so there is no need to configure it now.
Build the vm image:
The *build* command take most of its flags and arguments from the *docker build* command.
```bash
d2vm build --help
```
```
Build a vm image from Dockerfile
Usage:
d2vm build [context directory] [flags]
Flags:
--build-arg stringArray Set build-time variables
-d, --debug Enable Debug output
-f, --file string Name of the Dockerfile
--force Override output image
-h, --help help for build
-o, --output string The output image, the extension determine the image format. Supported formats: qcow2 qed raw vdi vhd vmdk (default "disk0.qcow2")
-p, --password string Root user password (default "root")
-s, --size string The output image size (default "10G")
```
```bash
sudo d2vm build -p MyP4Ssw0rd -f ubuntu.Dockerfile -o ubuntu.qcow2 .
```
Or if you want to create a VirtualBox image:
```bash
sudo d2vm build -p MyP4Ssw0rd -f ubuntu.Dockerfile -o ubuntu.vdi .
```
### Complete example
A complete example setting up a ZSH workstation is available in the [examples/full](examples/full/README.md) directory.
### Internal Dockerfile templates
You can find the Dockerfiles used to install the Kernel in the [templates](templates) directory.
### TODO / Questions:
- [ ] Create service from `ENTRYPOINT` `CMD` `WORKDIR` and `ENV` instructions ?
- [ ] Inject Image `ENV` variables into `.bashrc` or other service environment file ?
- [x] Use image layers to create *rootfs* instead of container ?
### Acknowledgments
The *run* commands are adapted from [linuxkit](https://github.com/docker/linuxkit).
