Capstan is a tool for rapidly building and running your application on OSv. Capstan is as simple and fast as using Docker for creating containers, but the result is a complete virtual machine image that will run on any hypervisor with OSv support.
- Linux, OS X, and Windows support
- QEMU/KVM VirtualBox, and Google Compute Engine support
You need a working Go environment installed. See Go install instructions for how to do that. Go version 1.1 or later is required.
You also need QEMU installed. On Fedora:
$ sudo yum install qemu-system-x86
On OS X:
$ brew install qemu
To install Capstan, type:
$ go get github.com/cloudius-systems/capstan/capstan
This installs a capstan executable to your Go workspace so make sure your
PATH environment variable includes $GOPATH/bin.
To run OSv, type:
$ capstan run cloudius/osv
To show a list of available remote images, type:
$ capstan search
To show a list of locally installed images, type:
