I was able to build from this Dockerfile and run it in codespace:

FROM docker.io/opensuse/leap:15.6

RUN zypper in -y git bash

RUN zypper in -y openQA-single-instance openQA-bootstrap \
    qemu-arm qemu-ppc qemu-x86 qemu-tools sudo iputils os-autoinst-distri-opensuse-deps && \
    zypper clean -a

Branch: https://github.com/perlpunk/openQA/tree/codespace

I started openqa-bootstrap and had a working webui on https://some-name-80.app.github.dev.

I cloned this test: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/4191283
However the test died:

I also cloned a different test using a Python test module and it complained that Inline::Python is not installed.

Adding "runArgs": [ "--privileged", "--device", "/dev/kvm" ] in devcontainer.json did not help

I added QEMU_APPEND="-enable-kvm" to openqa-clone-job. Now I get:

I did:

chown root:kvm /dev/kvm

Now I get:

[2024-05-16T08:49:46.622010Z] [warn] [pid:8060] !!! : qemu-system-x86_64: -vnc :91,share=force-shared: Failed to find an available port: Address already in use

In our collab session we tried several things to change the vnc port.
In the end it helped to restart the worker instance with an instance number of 10 instead of 1. (we needed to create the pool directory first)
With that qemu started and the test passed.

We didn't find out why the default 5091 port did not work, as there was nothing else listening on that port.

But it would be good if the bootstrap script and our code was a bit more flexible to configure certain ports.
Also it would be nice if one could just stop everything and restart the bootstrap script after making changes. Running the bootstrap script twice currently fails early when adding the zypper repository (complaining that it already exists).
