Question: Could this run on an ubuntu-base? about qemu-docker HOT 6 CLOSED

@kroese - I've actually made it work inside a KasmWorkspace! Check my fork: https://github.com/Husky110/kasm-qemu-docker
Using an ubuntu 22.04-image I was even able to make sound work! :)
Is there already a way to skip the Boot-Parameter and boot directly from the virtual disk after installation? Couldn't figure that out somehow...

I think it should not very difficult to modify the base from Debian to Ubuntu (because Ubuntu is just Debian with some extras).

But if you do not like VNC, you can just disable it in your compose file by setting: DISPLAY: "none" environment variable.

@kroese Thanks for your reply. But Display None would not suit my usecase. Kasm builds Workspaces with Desktop-Environments and use a custom VNC-like protocoll for Remote Desktop. The cool part about it that they run inside docker-containers, so basically I'm trying to get a VM running in there. :)
Maybe check them out. ^^

@Husky110 I do not know exactly what you mean.. Normally it should always give the harddrive higher priority than the cd-rom, so it should boot automaticly from the disk.

@kroese - What got me confused is this part in the quemu-docker-repo:
How do I boot a local image?
To skip the download, rename your image to boot.iso and place it in an empty /storage folder.
How the F do I skip the download!? Cause as soon as I leave the BOOT-Variable empty, it throws an error at me... So what I would like is download the iso, install the system on my VM, maybe delete the iso and boot directly from virtual-HDD. Couldn't figure that one out any maybe need some guidance there. :)

You dont need to make BOOT empty. If it detects a file called boot.iso in your /storage folder it will ignore the value of BOOT completely.

If you would show your compose file and the error you get, it would be much easier to determine what you did wrong.
