Lucid and OpenVZ and/or LXC ?

[sweetsinse]

Really? I know where the arch forums are, believe me... I posted that because anyone who is serious about using lxc in production will be able to glean much valuable information from those scripts. They work. Right now. Did I mention it will soon work for ubuntu? I think so... It only needs a small amount of work to work with ubuntu. Of course there is always the option of writing a solution from scratch yourself, after the pain of research that I have already endured.

They contain direction about how to get information from the cgroup filesystem, how to create a NAT bridge, lxc config file examples, the kernel configuration, devpts configuration, and many other things that you will need to understand.

unfortunately, I don't have the time to get ubuntu working flawlessly as a host or container ATM. I put that out there as an oppurtunity for you to get a jumpstart into lxc by looking at a working implementation, that is all.

Thank you for sharing your scripts. I agree there is some generic information there, I also agree they are indeed sophistocated, give people time to digest the info.

Along those lines, I tried to get your scipts, but it did not work.

I entered

git clone git://devel.extof.me/vps

And nothing happened, no error message.

Is there something about git I do not understand ?

you should see something like this:

you have git installed right? i think the package is called git-core (i know its not called git) in ubuntu. also my DNS maybe hasnt fully propagated yet, try:

git clone git://extof.me/vps

The repository is working now, thank you

Ok sweetsinse, I didn't understood the contribution.

if i can get a static copy of debootstrap, i can work on building a lucid container under my working host.

is that what this package is:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/cdebootstrap-static

seems like it but i haven't tried yet; perhaps one of you already knows. my host is arch so i have to convert the package (i.e. i need to get debootstrap working in non debian), would rather not waste time if its not what i need.

EDIT: actually it looks like arch has a copy of debootstrap in the user repositories (AUR). i'll see what i can do.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/debootstrap

The version from Arch will almost certainly pull Debian.

You can specify the repo on the command line :

bodhi.zazen, im getting the same probs as _i think_ you mentioned before:

ph1 ~ # lxc-start -n guest-test-ubuntu_lucid
init: ureadahead main process (4) terminated with status 5
mountall: Could not connect to Plymouth                   
mountall: Event failed                                    
mountall: Event failed                                    
mountall: Event failed

after which upstart sems to do nothing. im not as familiar with upstart... is there a way to enable more verbose output? or what have you done so far?

this was a raw bootstrap of lucid with no alterations yet, although im going to keep hacking at it

I believe it is a problem with the upstart scripts as well, similar problems with Ubuntu openvz templates.

I tried using the same scripts as from an Ubuntu 9.10 openvz template, no joy.

Need to look at the boot scripts, but I am not overly familiar with them either, lol.

Thanks for this thread (bodhi poked me to have a look at it after having some minor interest).

I'll have a play, and see if I can get anything working.
