autopkgtest-virt-lxd - autopkgtest virtualisation server using LXD
autopkgtest [...] -- lxd [
options]
image
[
-- extra lxc launch args...]
autopkgtest-virt-lxd provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using
LXD. It creates temporary containers from the given LXD image name.
Normally
autopkgtest-virt-lxd will be invoked by
autopkgtest.
autopkgtest-virt-lxd makes no strict assumptions about the image.
However, it is highly recommended that the image has eatmydata installed, or
at least that gets installed via setup commands.
For production use, it is recommended to use
autopkgtest-build-lxd(1) to
generate an optimized image with autopkgtest's standard setup commands
applied. Then these setup commands don't need to be applied for every test.
This is particularly necessary if you want to use
--apt-source tests,
i. e. use
apt-get source in the test bed to download the package to
test. Standard images from
linuxcontainers.org do not have
"deb-src" apt sources by default.
-
-r remote |
--remote=remote
- Run container on given remote host instead of locally. See
lxc remote list for available remotes.
- --vm
- Use a VM instead of a container.
-
-d | --debug
- Enables debugging output.
You can pass additional options to
lxd launch: Anything after a
--
gets appended verbatim to
lxc launch image.
The behaviour of
autopkgtest-virt-lxd is as described by the
AutomatedTesting virtualisation regime specification.
Show available images on the standard
linuxcontainers.org remote image
server:
Run the tests of a local built directory tree on the current Debian sid image
from the above
images: remote:
autopkgtest my-package/ -- lxd images:debian/sid/amd64
Run the tests in a local built directory tree from a local LXD image
desktop/i386, ensuring that eatmydata is installed:
autopkgtest --setup-commands 'apt-get install -y eatmydata' dir/to/test/ \
-- lxd desktop/i386
Run the tests of the
gdk-pixbuf package on the current Debian sid image
from the
images: remote on a remote armhf host:
lxc remote add armhf-test http://armhf.testlab.example.com:8443
autopkgtest --setup-commands=setup-testbed gdk-pixbuf -- \
lxd --remote armhf-test images:debian/sid/armhf
Build a local image with standard setup commands pre-applied from a remote
standard image, and run gdk-pixbuf test in it:
autopkgtest-build-lxd images:ubuntu/xenial/amd64
autopkgtest gdk-pixbuf -- lxd autopkgtest/ubuntu/xenial/amd64
