Migrate documentation to github pages (#1523)
Switch from having all documentation contained within the README to publishing a jekyll static site of documentation under github pages. This allows for configuration and installation guides to be handled separately to make for the relevant pieces to be in smaller chunks and therefore easier to follow for users. Additionally a table of contents can now be included in a left navigation section that ensures it should be possible to quickly jump from the start to any section and back again. Include support for publishing previews and releases under separate directories to allow for them to exist at the same time as the other latest version of the documents. The navigation section also includes support for accessing any of the other versions published so that it easier to see what configuration options exist for a given release. These will be published automatically when releases are added.

Vagrant-libvirt is a [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com) plugin that adds a
|
||||
[Libvirt](http://libvirt.org) provider to Vagrant, allowing Vagrant to
|
||||
control and provision machines via Libvirt toolkit.
|
||||
|
||||
{: .info }
|
||||
Actual version is still a development one. Feedback is welcome and
|
||||
can help a lot :-)

## Features
|
||||
|
||||
* Control local Libvirt hypervisors.
|
||||
* Vagrant `up`, `destroy`, `suspend`, `resume`, `halt`, `ssh`, `reload`,
|
||||
`package` and `provision` commands.
|
||||
* Upload box image (qcow2 format) to Libvirt storage pool.
|
||||
* Create volume as COW diff image for domains.
|
||||
* Create private networks.
|
||||
* Create and boot Libvirt domains.
|
||||
* SSH into domains.
|
||||
* Setup hostname and network interfaces.
|
||||
* Provision domains with any built-in Vagrant provisioner.
|
||||
* Synced folder support via `rsync`, `nfs`, `9p` or `virtiofs`.
|
||||
* Snapshots
|
||||
* Package caching via
|
||||
[vagrant-cachier](http://fgrehm.viewdocs.io/vagrant-cachier/).
|
||||
* Use boxes from other Vagrant providers via
|
||||
[vagrant-mutate](https://github.com/sciurus/vagrant-mutate).
|
||||
* Support VMs with no box for PXE boot purposes (Vagrant 1.6 and up)
|
||||
|
||||
## How a Machine Is Created
|
||||
|
||||
Vagrant goes through steps below when creating new project:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Connect to Libvirt locally or remotely via SSH.
|
||||
2. Check if box image is available in Libvirt storage pool. If not, upload it
|
||||
to remote Libvirt storage pool as new volume.
|
||||
3. Create COW diff image of base box image for new Libvirt domain.
|
||||
4. Create and start new domain on Libvirt host.
|
||||
5. Check for DHCP lease from dnsmasq server.
|
||||
6. Wait till SSH is available.
|
||||
7. Sync folders and run Vagrant provisioner on new domain if setup in
|
||||
Vagrantfile.
