This repository contains Multipass Blueprint definitions. They augment the offerings already available from the
Ubuntu Cloud Images. You can list the available images with
multipass find
and run them with multipass launch
:
$ multipass find
Image Aliases Version Description
# ...
minikube latest minikube is local Kubernetes
$ multipass launch minikube
Launched: minikube
$ multipass exec minikube -- minikube status
minikube
type: Control Plane
host: Running
kubelet: Running
apiserver: Running
kubeconfig: Configured
The blueprints are defined in YAML of the following format (required fields marked with *
):
# v1/<name>.yaml
description: <string> # * a short description of the blueprint ("tagline")
version: <string> # * a version string
runs-on: # a list of architectures this blueprint can run on
- arm64 # see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsysinfo.html#currentCpuArchitecture
- x86_64 # for a list of valid values
instances:
<name>: # * equal to the blueprint name
image: <base image> # a valid image alias, see `multipass find` for available values
limits:
min-cpu: <int> # the minimum number of CPUs this blueprint can work with
min-mem: <string> # the minimum amount of memory (can use G/K/M/B suffixes)
min-disk: <string> # and the minimum disk size (as above)
timeout: <int> # maximum time for the instance to launch, and separately for cloud-init to complete
cloud-init:
vendor-data: | # cloud-init vendor data
<string>
health-check: | # a health-check shell script ran by integration tests
<string>
On Linux, the multipass find
command looks for blueprints in a URL provided by an
environment variable, MULTIPASS_BLUEPRINTS_URL
. To locally test your blueprints
you would need to override the systemd service with the following setting:
[Service]
Environment="MULTIPASS_BLUEPRINTS_URL=https://github.com/<REPO_OWNER>/multipass-blueprints/archive/refs/heads/<BRANCH_NAME>.zip"
This can be done by using the systemctl edit
utility to open the file and add the two lines mentioned above into the uncommented blank section:
sudo systemctl edit snap.multipass.multipassd.service
followed by service restart:
sudo snap restart multipass
