Here’s a dockerfile that will enable just that.

	# Run libvirt deamon in a container
	#
	# docker run -d \
	# --privileged \
	# -v /var/run/libvirt:/var/run/libvirt \
	# --name kvm \
	# jess/kvm
	#
	FROM debian:sid
	LABEL maintainer “Jessie Frazelle jess@linux.com”
	RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
	iptables \
	libgl1-mesa-dri \
	libgl1-mesa-glx \
	libvirt-daemon-system \
	python-gi \
	python-ipaddr \
	qemu-kvm \
	virtinst \
	virt-viewer \
	–no-install-recommends \
	&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
	COPY ./start.sh /start.sh
	ENTRYPOINT ["/start.sh"]
	CMD [“libvirtd”]
