Capstan cannot build images for Xen

[darahayes]

According to the documentation in the OSv wiki, OSv is fully supported on Xen and as a result, it can be run on EC2.

I'm not familiar with go but sifting through the code I believe the following are supported:

• qemu
• vbox
• vmw
• gce

How do I build an OSv image containing my application code for Xen? For instance, How could I do this with the NodeJS hello world example?

@darragh-hayes with the NodeJS example, it should be as simple as:

[[[
capstan build
]]]

in the working directory. The output will be available in ~/.capstan/repository/capstan-example-nodejs/capstan-example-nodejs.qemu.

All you need to do is convert the .qemu into a raw image, create an AMI, and then run an instance on EC2.

Give me a shout if you need any further tips!

if it can be possible by convert. is it other reason not implemented in capstan?

I too am wondering why this isn't an option given it's that simple? Why not just add it already?
