           Summary: ostree.gnome.org needs to be deployed on a physical
                    server
    Classification: Infrastructure
           Product: sysadmin
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: sysadmin-maint gnome bugs
        ReportedBy: walters verbum org
         QAContact: sysadmin-maint gnome bugs
     GNOME version: ---


Right now on my laptop, booting a gnome-ostree VM in qemu takes about 5
seconds.

On the server, due to nested virtualization plus ambient I/O activity, it takes
5 **minutes**.  This really hampers my ability to do automated testing.

I hear there's possibly new hardware coming...if there's anything we can do
with partners/donors to accelerate that, I can dramatically increase the speed
at which testing happens.

Possibly we could split up the testing from the building - even a portion of a
basic server with 4G of RAM and 100GB of disk would be enough to run qemu, as
long as the host is KVM-capable.
