wrap commands in throwaway virtual machines
Project description
- vido is a sudo-like command wrapper that runs commands
inside a lightweight virtual machine.
The main uses are:
privilege elevation. Commands run as root even if you don’t have root privileges in the first place.
quick testing. Make small changes to the kernel and test them immediately.
regression testing. Run the same command against multiple kernels.
kernel debugging. There is a –gdb flag that will run the virtual kernel inside a debugger. If you have an application that triggers kernel bugs, you can wrap it in vido –gdb, usually without changes.
See github.com/g2p/vido for installation and usage instructions.
