# docker-qemu-live-iso
This Docker image serves two purposes:
1. Boots a live ISO image in QEMU (based on [`tianon/qemu:native`](https://github.com/tianon/docker-qemu))
2. Provides an HTTP server from which the ISO itself can be downloaded
## Customizing the Docker image
By default this image is built with [Tiny Core Linux](http://www.tinycorelinux.net/) ISO as an example. Modify the `ISO_URL` argument when building the image to provide your own ISO URL. Or, create a child Dockerfile based on this image to add a local ISO:
```
FROM oci.guero.org/qemu-live-iso:latest
ARG QEMU_CPU=4
ARG QEMU_RAM=4096
ENV QEMU_CPU $QEMU_CPU
ENV QEMU_RAM $QEMU_RAM
ADD --chown=${DEFAULT_UID}:${DEFAULT_GID} foobar.iso /image/live.iso
```
## Running
Set the following environment variables to control runtime parameters. See the [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile) for a complete list of environment variables.
* `QEMU_CPU` - the number of CPU cores for QEMU (default `2`)
* `QEMU_RAM` - the megabytes of RAM for QEMU (default `1024`)
* `QEMU_START` - whether to start QEMU when the container is run (default `true`)
* `QEMU_RESTART` - whether to retart QEMU if it stops (default `true`)
Additionally, you may bind mount your ISO as `/image/live.iso` in the container to boot your own ISO without rebuilding the Docker image:
```
$ docker run --detach --publish-all --rm --device /dev/kvm --volume /path/to/foobar.iso:/image/live.iso oci.guero.org/qemu-live-iso:latest
```
QEMU can take advantage of KVM acceleration if available. This can be accomplished by including `--device /dev/kvm` as illustrated in the example above.
Execute `docker run` with `--publish-all` (`-P`) and connect to the mapped HTTP and VNC ports to access the services provided by the container:
```
$ docker run --detach --publish-all --rm --device /dev/kvm oci.guero.org/qemu-live-iso:latest
fdaea77d8c383edc0689dd710b0df5c1187ad75b0b429e3ee56061d29fa6488c
$ docker ps -a | grep qemu-live-iso

```
### VNC client access
The VNC service is the one mapped to `5900/tcp`, and can be connected to with your VNC client of choice (`vncviewer`, `remmina`, etc.):
```
$ remmina vnc://localhost:49169
```
### VNC HTTP access
Alternately, an HTML VNC client ([noVNC](https://github.com/novnc/noVNC)) can be accessed via your browser at `http://localhost:XXXXX/vnc_auto.html`, where `XXXXX` is the port mapped to `8081/tcp`:
### ISO HTTP download
The HTTP service (for downloading the ISO) is the one mapped to `8000/tcp`, and can be accessed with a web browser:
