git clone https://github.com/cmfatih/docker-vmi-builder.git

./docker-vmi-builder.sh

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -hda docker-vmi-img.img -display none -usbdevice tablet -vnc :5,docker -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:8022-:22 -net nic -daemonize

• For login; username: dockervmi , password: dockervmi
• The building process requires sudo for mounting Ubuntu ISO file.
• ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64.iso file (697MB) will be downloaded from Ubuntu server. Putting this file to the script folder (before running the builder) will prevent download process.
• The process will create ~1.33GB uncompressed qcow2 formatted image file. It can be compress to ~500MB.
• The building process takes ~15 minutes with AMD 12 core CPU, 32GB RAM, SSD disk. It can be monitor with VNC client.
• Qemu doesn't require X Window System. Use -display none -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:8022-:22 -net nic parameter for starting VM and use ssh [email protected] -p 8022 for connection.
• Qemu for Windows doesn't require any installation. So Qemu archive file and the VMI can be contribute with a single archive file.

• 20130929 -enable-kvm option is removed. The login username and password changed.
• 20130919 Ubuntu 12.04.3 and Docker v0.6.x (Docker repository)
