# VMs in Nomad
I want to play around with the beta libvirt task driver for nomad to run some VMs.
As a first proving ground for this, I would try to run the gitea runners in a VM, because that allows me to more easily configure them without actually giving them access to the underlying host machine.

The VMs could be built on top of alpine linux, as a very minimal distribution and only run docker.
The built of them should be automated using something like packer, and we need to store them somewhere shared, like ceph/s3
