This allows users to SSH into a domain with a VSOCK device: ssh user@qemu/machineName So far, only QEMU domains are supported AND qemu:///system is looked for the first for 'machineName' followed by qemu:///session. I took an inspiration from Systemd's ssh proxy [1] [2]. To just work out of the box, it requires (yet unreleased) systemd to be running inside the guest to set up a socket activated SSHD on the VSOCK. Alternatively, users can set up the socket activation themselves, or just run a socat that'll forward vsock <-> TCP communication. 1: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/ssh-generator/ssh-proxy.c 2: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/ssh-generator/20-systemd-ssh-proxy.conf.in Resolves: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/579 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com>
Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
