ignite run¶
Create a new VM and start it
Synopsis¶
Create and start a new VM immediately. The image (and kernel) is matched by prefix based on its ID and name. This command accepts all flags used to create and start a VM. The interactive flag (-i, –interactive) can be specified to immediately attach to the started VM after creation.
Example usage: $ ignite run weaveworks/ignite-ubuntu –interactive –name my-vm –cpus 2 –ssh –memory 2GB –size 10G
ignite run <OCI image> [flags]
Options¶
--config string Specify a path to a file with the API resources you want to pass
-f, --copy-files strings Copy files/directories from the host to the created VM
--cpus uint VM vCPU count, 1 or even numbers between 1 and 32 (default 1)
-d, --debug Debug mode, keep container after VM shutdown
-h, --help help for run
-i, --interactive Attach to the VM after starting
--kernel-args string Set the command line for the kernel (default "console=ttyS0 reboot=k panic=1 pci=off ip=dhcp")
-k, --kernel-image oci-image Specify an OCI image containing the kernel at /boot/vmlinux and optionally, modules (default weaveworks/ignite-kernel:4.19.47)
--memory size Amount of RAM to allocate for the VM (default 512.0 MB)
-n, --name string Specify the name
-p, --ports strings Map host ports to VM ports
-s, --size size VM filesystem size, for example 5GB or 2048MB (default 4.0 GB)
--ssh[=<path>] Enable SSH for the VM. If <path> is given, it will be imported as the public key. If just '--ssh' is specified, a new keypair will be generated. (default is unset, which disables SSH access to the VM)
-v, --volumes volume Expose block devices from the host inside the VM
Options inherited from parent commands¶
--log-level loglevel Specify the loglevel for the program (default info)
--network-plugin plugin Network plugin to use. Available options are: [cni docker-bridge] (default cni)
-q, --quiet The quiet mode allows for machine-parsable output by printing only IDs
--runtime runtime Container runtime to use. Available options are: [docker containerd] (default containerd)
