Show HN: Isolated microVM-based self-hosted GitHub runners
This project creates self-hosted (ephemeral) GitHub runners based on krunvm [1]. krunvm creates microVMs, so the project enables fully isolated runners inside your infrastruture. MicroVMs boot fast, providing an experience close to running containers. The project starts VMs based on the multi-platform OCI images that it creates -- ubuntu [2](default) or fedora [3]. The default is to create far-less capable runners than the GitHub runners, but most settings are similar to when running at GitHub: same user ID, member of the `docker` group, password-less `sudo`, etc. Since krunvm runs on MacOS, this should also run on MacOS -- although I haven't been able to test it: reports and/or PRs are welcome.

How to create a kvm virtual machine without a gui?
An interesting alternative is krunvm. On my MacBook Pro M1 it takes less than a second to start a VM and get a Linux shell prompt with krunvm . When I boot up a Fedora CoreOS on the same computer it takes about 17 seconds. Note though that krunvm is for managing lightweight VMs created from OCI images.

TrueNAS virtualization using Harvester and Kubevirt
At Harvester v1.1.2, it seems virtual machines on some AMD platforms cannot detect nested virtualization. This might relate to Harvester issue #3900, but that issue is categorized as a user interface bug only. Besides, I can run virtual machines on my Ryzen 5600G node normally (with SVM, IOMMU, and SR-IOV enabled, while /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested returns 1).
- Are there any dedicated linux distros that come out of the box with k8s?
-
🔧I tried out Harvester HCI for the homelab, and it is an interesting solution
With this being nowhere documented, I dived into GitHub issues and found #1479. I learned the bootstrap password is admin, which then allowed me to log in.
- Self hosting our Startup, where do we begin?
-
proxmox in docker or vagrant
Or with Hyper-converged infrastructure https://harvesterhci.io/

Any easy to use gui to create/deploy/monitor k8s for a devops newbie?
Have a look at Harvester if you have a unused pc. It can create a k3s cluster in vms automatically. TechnoTim has done a video about it, looks really easy. Also combines with rancher and longhorn for managing cluster a storage.

Has anyone used Harvester?
Im currently using proxmox and I want to what the community's feelings towards Suse Harvester. What are your experiences and is it worth trying out?
- Can you do infrastructure as code on non-cloud assets?

3 node kubernetes cluster - All masters?
This seems like the route, thank you for your response. u/happyColoradoDave pointed me towards harvester which should make VM management easier. Going to go with that to run VMs now.

Is anyone using kubevirt, oVirt or some "kubernetes VM" solution to fire up Windows (not linux) VM's in any reasonable number?
I assume you mean https://harvesterhci.io/
What are some alternatives?

firecracker - Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing.
homelab - Modern self-hosting framework, fully automated from empty disk to operating services with a single command.
libkrunfw - A dynamic library bundling the guest payload consumed by libkrun
kubevirt - Kubernetes Virtualization API and runtime in order to define and manage virtual machines.
slim - Build and run tiny vms from Dockerfiles. Small and sleek.
rancher - Complete container management platform
libkrun - A dynamic library providing Virtualization-based process isolation capabilities
longhorn - Cloud-Native distributed storage built on and for Kubernetes
lima - Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers
kwarantine - Kwarantine can run strongly isolated containers in a multi-tenant setting
