I am thinking about how to make this more useful to the masses on the team. The question I am asking myself is "can it replace vagrant for some scenarios". For example, being able to spin up a Satellite + Capsule(s) with DHCP, DNS etc. but allow outside access to the server via a web browser. Since often the setup requires a beefy box that is running on a beaker machine or server under a desk and developers use their laptops to access.
Faced with the same dilemma when running oVirt on Lago on my MiniDell, I've simply setup Apache on it to proxy HTTP traffic into the VM network. With a browser proxy plugin such as foxy proxy configured to make the browser also resolve DNS for domains with certain suffixes over the proxy, I've got a pretty seamless user experience without giving up on the environment isolation.
If you want this to be self-contained in a script you give developers, you can perhaps use the Ruby or Python built-in HTTP servers to do the proxying.
I think that a better solution might be exposing ports or similar, though I agree that having the possibility to setup external nets is a nice to have.
btw. you can use ssh's -D option to setup a socks proxy server too, simpler imo.
Can you help me visualize what this would look like from a code or user perspective? Right now I have it reduced to "run this script" and environment gets setup and installation steps occur. Ideally, that same script would setup or configure whatever is needed so a developer just hits the IP in their browser and is off and running. Eric
