Thanks for the details, `qemu-unpriv machines cannot communicate` is still valid though, or? That's why we extended the QEMU platform (I've read that there are tricks to let the unpriv...

The kola test annotations for excluding qemu-unpriv: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/search?q=qemu-unpriv+machines+cannot+communicate&type= That's the main reason we stick to using the other qemu platform because it allows us to run things like the [kubeadm](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/mantle/blob/flatcar-master/kola/tests/kubeadm/kubeadm.go)...

A while ago I searched and found this: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-discuss/2014-11/msg00020.html and the socket backend (`-netdev socket,id=mynet0,listen=:1234` and `-netdev socket,id=mynet0,connect=:1234`) Edit: this looks doable: https://gist.github.com/mcastelino/88195a7d99811a177f5e643d1465e19e Edit2: implemented it here: https://github.com/flatcar-linux/mantle/pull/307 Sure, we...

This is fixed in the latest Flatcar release where containerd is enabled by default: https://www.flatcar.org/releases#release-3227.2.0 Edit: I thought it's about the enabling, but it's also about the `After=`, it seems

To understand, the container has its own `ipset` binary, right? That should be good then and it sounds like the kernel interface in this area is API is not really...

The first step is actually: Configuring PXE and rebooting. Many of these steps can be skipped if instead of configuring PXE there would be a minimal installation container that installs...

@invidian Do you think your work with the Ubuntu or alpine container image can be upstreamed?

One more note: Installing lbzip2 in the container will also help to speed decompression up greatly. This is also missing on the PXE installation method. Last time I measured this...

Upstream to the Equinix Metal tinkerbell repository. This will be faster because booting from iPXE and the additional reboot is slow. As far as I know installing from the container...

With an Ubuntu container the lbzip2 package is available for fast decompression but an additional `ln -s /usr/bin/lbzip2 /usr/local/bin/bzip2` is needed after the lbzip2 package installation with apt.
