3mdeb/xen-docker repository overview

⁠Docker environment for Xen development

This repository contains Dockerfile with all dependencies and tools required for building Xen.

⁠Building container

git clone [email protected]:3mdeb/xen-docker.git
cd xen-docker
docker build -t 3mdeb/xen-docker .

⁠Preparing build environment

First clone Xen source:

git clone git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git

Add xen git directory as a volume to docker container and run it:

cd xen
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home/xen -w /home/xen 3mdeb/xen-docker /bin/bash

Note that xen source directory must be inside /home/xen in docker container as we also use .ccache as a volume in /home/xen.

⁠Building Xen

(xen-docker)$ git checkout <version>
(xen-docker)$ ./configure --enable-githttp --enable-systemd
# You can customize the config now if needed
(xen-docker)$ make debball

Result will be placed in $(XEN_SRC)/dist. You will find there:

  • install.sh shell script which install Xen hypervisor on host machine
  • install directory containing Xen components and kernel
  • xen-upstream-<version>.deb

⁠Xen installation

To install Xen on host mashine simply run install.sh outside docker.

Note: You need to have a Dom0 kernel for Xen on Your host

To install on a remote machine use the xen-upstream-<version>.deb package.

Xen kernel will be placed in /boot directory in gzip format.
