I can't speak to the use of libvirt/kvm, since I've only used kohadevbox/Vagrant with Virtualbox. In theory, you should be able to swap out backends, but it depends on whether libvirt/kvm implement the features that Vagrant is using for some critical setup (particularly in terms of synced/shared folders I'd say). As for re-using existing setups, I would not recommend it. One of the benefits of kohadevbox (https://gitlab.com/koha-community/kohadevbox) and koha-testing-docker (https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-testing-docker) is that they provide updated community-supported standardized environments. Regardless of local circumstances, people across the world should be able to use the same virtualized dev/test environment. Personally, I use koha-testing-docker. It makes it very easy to destroy and re-create a fresh environment in seconds, which is great when you are testing a lot of different changes.

The situation is that the last few years, I've already been using libvirt/kvm to create a few Koha VMs for testing, and I have a Debian 9 VM ready to go for gitified development. I was hoping that perhaps I could modify the kohadevbox system just a bit to use my existing setup, so that (1) I wouldn't be forced to use Virtualbox, and (2) I wouldn't have to wait for it to download and create a new Debian 9 VM, since I already have one. Has anybody out there tried to do this? -- I'm doing my part to help preserve life on earth by trying to preserve my own. --Ashleigh Brilliant _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
