VM Dev

IMPORTANT

Project moved to my private space elsewhere. For collaboration reach to me via zagozdakonrad@gmail.com or https://www.linkedin.com/in/konradzagozda/

Description

Isolated VM-based development environment for Claude Code. A bare_metal directory is mounted into a workstation VM so Claude can work inside the VM while files live on the host.

Setup

1. Install Incus and add yourself to incus-admin:

   sudo usermod -aG incus-admin $USER
   incus admin init --minimal

   For automated bare_metal setup, see infra/e2e_test_runner/cloud-init.yml.tftpl.

2. Install OpenTofu: opentofu.org/docs/intro/install

3. Configure secrets:

   just prepare-env
   # Edit .env and infra/bare_metal/secrets/gh_app_key.pem with your values

4. Load env vars (already automatic for just targets):

   set -a; source .env; set +a

5. Provision the workstation:

   just vm-init  # once
   just vm-up
   just vm-ssh
