Jean-Gabriel Gill-Couture 9fb3691c3d feat(kvm): honor spec.disk_size_gb in overlay creation
qemu-img create with no trailing size inherits the backing
image's virtual size. The Ubuntu cloud image ships with ~2 GiB
of root, which fills up as soon as we sideload a container
tarball in the smoke. Pass disk_size_gb through to qemu-img and
rely on cloud-initramfs-growroot (already in the base) to grow
the partition on first boot. example_iot_vm_setup defaults to
16 GiB.

example_iot_vm_setup

End-to-end driver for the IoT walking-skeleton VM-as-device flow. Runs two Harmony Scores in sequence:

  1. KvmVmScore — provision a libvirt VM from an Ubuntu 24.04 cloud image with a cloud-init seed ISO that authorizes one SSH key. Returns the booted VM's IP.
  2. IotDeviceSetupScore — SSH into the VM (via the Ansible-backed HostConfigurationProvider) and install podman + the iot-agent binary, drop the TOML config, bring up the systemd unit.

After a successful run, the VM is a fleet member reporting to NATS under the --device-id you chose, carrying the --group label you passed.

One-time setup

WORK=/var/tmp/harmony-iot-smoke
mkdir -p "$WORK/ssh"

# 1. Ubuntu 24.04 cloud image (~700 MB) — cached between runs.
curl -o "$WORK/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img" \
     https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/24.04/release/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

# 2. SSH keypair the VM will trust.
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' -f "$WORK/ssh/id_ed25519"

# 3. Runtime deps — Harmony self-installs Ansible into a managed venv
#    under $HARMONY_DATA_DIR/ansible-venv on first run, so you only need
#    python3 + venv on the runner. No system-wide `ansible` needed.
# On Arch:
#   sudo pacman -S libvirt qemu-full xorriso python
# On Debian/Ubuntu:
#   sudo apt install libvirt-daemon-system qemu-kvm xorriso python3 python3-venv

# 4. libvirt default network.
sudo virsh net-start default
sudo virsh net-autostart default

Run

cargo build -p iot-agent-v0

cargo run -p example_iot_vm_setup -- \
  --base-image /var/tmp/harmony-iot-smoke/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img \
  --ssh-pubkey /var/tmp/harmony-iot-smoke/ssh/id_ed25519.pub \
  --ssh-privkey /var/tmp/harmony-iot-smoke/ssh/id_ed25519 \
  --work-dir /var/tmp/harmony-iot-smoke \
  --agent-binary target/debug/iot-agent-v0 \
  --nats-url nats://192.168.122.1:4222

Changing groups

Re-running with a different --group rewrites /etc/iot-agent/config.toml on the VM and restarts the agent. The VM itself is untouched.

cargo run -p example_iot_vm_setup -- ... --group group-b

Full end-to-end via smoke test

See iot/scripts/smoke-a3.sh — stands up NATS in a podman container, runs this example, asserts the agent's status lands in NATS.
