KVM2 driver for docker-machine

This driver leverages the new plugin architecture being
developed for Docker Machine.

• Install libvirt and qemu-kvm on your system (e.g., sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin qemu-kvm)
  • Add yourself to the libvirtd group (may vary by linux distro) so you don’t need to sudo
• Install docker-machine
• Go to the
  releases
  page and download the docker-machine-driver-kvm binary, putting it
  in your PATH.
• You can now create virtual machines using this driver with
  docker-machine create -d kvm myengine0.

$ yum install -y libvirt-devel curl git gcc  //CentOS,Fedora

$ apt-get install -y libvirt-dev curl git gcc //Ubuntu

$ make build

By default docker-machine-kvm uses a boot2docker.iso as guest os for the kvm hypervisior. It’s also possible to use every guest os image that is derived from boot2docker.iso as well.
For using another image use the --kvm-boot2docker-url parameter.

• eth1 – A host private network called docker-machines is automatically created to ensure we always have connectivity to the VMs. The docker-machine ip command will always return this IP address which is only accessible from your local system.
• eth0 – You can specify any libvirt named network. If you don’t specify one, the “default” named network will be used.
  • If you have exotic networking topolgies (openvswitch, etc.), you can use virsh edit mymachinename after creation, modify the first network definition by hand, then reboot the VM for the changes to take effect.
  • Typically this would be your “public” network accessible from external systems
  • To retrieve the IP address of this network, you can run a command like the following:

  docker-machine ssh mymachinename "ip -one -4 addr show dev eth0|cut -f7 -d' '"

Here are all currently driver parameters listed that you can use.
