Getting started tutorial with basic networking

[maxweber]

Your getting started tutorial is good. Despite the fact that I didn't had much experiences with microvms I managed to get the example up and running (snapshotting also worked). However, I was completely lost when I tried to connect the VM to the network and the internet. I would be very thankful for additional steps in the getting started tutorial that describes how to do a basic network setup.

I was able to get the Firecracker getting started example running with networking. I also read a lot about tap devices and Linux networking in general. But since days I'm not able to get the cloud-hypervisor VM connected to the network.

Thanks a lot for creating this project. I would be very glad about hints, how to get the networking correct.

Best regards,

Max

Hello, have you solved the network connection problem ?

@lebron8dong Hi, regrettably, I did not solve the network connection problem.

Is this not sufficient - https://www.cloudhypervisor.org/docs/prologue/quick-start/ ?

@rbradford I tried to follow this guide multiple times and read articles like this one to get a better understanding. However, my knowledge of networking in Linux seems insufficient to configure a "hello world" example in combination with cloud-hypervisor. Therefore I would be very thankful for any help and hints on how do to this.
