capsule-rs / sandbox Goto Github PK

While getting the sandbox up and running I ran into some issues due to the rust version that seemed consistent with rust-lang/cargo#8258. It took a few tries due to stalling, but I eventually successfully installed rust stable (1.45.2). I then tried to install capsule, but ran into linker issues
LinkerSegfault.log

I got around this issue by updating the container, which allowed me to get around the linker segmentation fault.

Recommend updating Rust to current stable (1.45.2) and updating container image

Installing the sandbox on windows, vagrant up results in a fatal error due to the use of : in the filename. Should use a delimiting character that doesn't cause issues in Windows

As per capsule-rs/capsule#86, we'll need to upgrade our sandbox and developer environments for DPDK version 19.11.

Background

While VirtualBox (VB) is easiest to setup and is free, KVM/QEMU tends to have better performance and resource utilization (VB is notoriously bad about the latter); and,it's also free. Additionally, there are some bugs in VB around hardware performance counters (helpful for rr usage) that could be resolved with the addition of another virtualization provider.

Possible Solution

Add a configuration to our multi-machine Vagrantfile setup to use the vagrant-libvert in addition to VB (with a different config definition/name). Helpful instructions can be found in this reference.
