Hello everybody, Some time ago I heard about this "rump kernel" project and recently I had an idea for a project that may benefit from using something like this. And if it doesn't benefit, I just want to try to do it for fun.
The general idea is as follows [1]: I'll write an application that will run as a unikernel on a Raspberry Pi. This application will have to fetch some data from a remote URL, do something with it and store it on the HDD attached to the RPi. I think up to this point I have no trouble with the implementation and the rump kernel and the POSIXy interface cover my needs pretty well. The problem is that I'd like to be able to access the filesystem remotely at all times. This is in order to download whatever files the unikernel application creates. In my head, this is a problem because I have only one application running and cannot have another FTP daemon running on the same unikernel, right? So I'm thinking some kind of network-shared file system that already has support in NetBSD or rump kernel, but sadly I have no experience with something like this and I'd like to see what you guys think. What might work? PS: Nice project, I really like it! Especially the way everything worked out of the box after running the commands specified in the tutorials. [1] If it all works out, I'll publish more details, source code and even a paper on this. -- Barbu Paul - Gheorghe Common sense is not so common - Voltaire Visit My GitHub profile to see my open-source projects - https://github.com/paulbarbu
