how do I need to configure an OBS worker to use KVM instead of a chroot? I checked the documentation but did not find information about that topic.

This is what I have been doing: # grep -v -e "^$" -e "^#" -e '=""' /etc/sysconfig/obs-server ... OBS_VM_INITRD="none" OBS_VM_KERNEL="none" OBS_VM_TYPE="auto" ... (/etc/init.d/obsworker will check availability of XEN or KVM if OBS_VM_TYPE is set to "auto") Then I install KVM (especially, qemu-kvm) on the worker and make sure the kernel modules are loaded at boot. When the worker starts with KVM as the sandbox.

where does the worker know which image to use for boot and build ???

check the dist/obsworker init script: if [ -n "$OBS_VM_KERNEL" -a "$OBS_VM_KERNEL" != "none" -a "$OBS_VM_TYPE" != "openstack" ] ; then OBS_WORKER_OPT="$OBS_WORKER_OPT --vm-kernel $OBS_VM_KERNEL" fi "--vm-kernel" is handled by src/backend/bs_worker and just passed on to build.rpm's /usr/bin/build If --vm-kernel is not passed to build, then it does some magic. (all following applies to KVM x86/x86_64 build, have not looked at all the other places) If available, it will use the kernel and initrd from kernel-obs-build.rpm (this is why this package is VMInstall:'ed in all recent distributions). Else it will fall back to /boot/vmlinuz (which is the kernel of the obs worker host!). So this: OBS_VM_INITRD="none" OBS_VM_KERNEL="none" basically means "use the magic in /usr/bin/build to find a usable kernel".
