# The Hypervisors Directory This directory contains docs explaining any peculiarities or details of a particular hypervisor's implementation. If you don't see a file here for a hypervisor, then it's either not yet documented (feel free to help us out here!), or it should conform to our normal hypervisor assumptions. # Credentials File Beaker uses credentials from a `.fog` file for authentication. This file came from using the [fog cloud services library](http://fog.io). Beaker now only uses fog functionality in the openstack hypervisor, but we still use the `.fog` file for a credentials store. By default, the file is located under the user's home directory. This helps to keep the credentials confidential. The path of `.fog` file can be changed by setting the `dot_fog` global beaker option. The `.fog` file is written in YAML. The keys are particular to the service that they correspond to, and each hypervisor's documentation should include the keys that are needed for it. An example `.fog` file is below: ```yaml :default: :vsphere_server: 'vsphere.example.com' :vsphere_username: 'joe' :vsphere_password: 'MyP@$$w0rd' :vmpooler_token: 'randomtokentext' ``` # External Hypervisors There are a number of community-supported hypervisors that have not been added to Beaker itself. The reason for this is that we're looking to decrease Beaker's dependency footprint, and hypervisors are one of the places where we can often increase the load across all Beaker uses to benefit a small group that uses a particular hypervisor. In order to offset this, we've made a listing of forks below that support other hypervisors not included in Beaker. Please check them out if you'd like to use their hypervisor, hopefully it'll save you from spending time trying to support a new hypervisor yourself. | Hypervisor | Fork | |:----------:|:--------------------------------------------------:| | LXC | [Obmondo](https://github.com/Obmondo/beaker) |
