Xavier, thanks for your the link to your blog and your contribution. Apparently that's the most simple way to get this done - I hope there's an upgrade-path to systemd in the future. Although setting it up was not as straightforward as your tutorial: - Package "python3-all-dev" currently has dependency issues (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.4/+bug/1503382, http://askubuntu.com/a/683604/331398) I was able to solve this by adding a time.sleep(120) in lxc-ci/__init__.py before self.update(), attaching to the new temporary container while the timer was running and downgrading the python3-packages (See askubuntu-answer) - cgroups caused some trouble. Setting them with cgmanager/cgm for the specific user helped (See http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/171478/88252 and http://bit.ly/1jokrFl) If anyone knows a good way to make this permanent, let me know! Basically it's: sudo service cgmanager start sudo cgm create all $USER sudo cgm chown all $USER $(id -u) $(id -g) sudo cgm movepid all $USER $$ - "lxc-attach -n $jessiecontainer" does not set the full $PATH-environment-variable which is quite inconvenient when unexpected, "export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" helps - The Jessie-template does not include man-db, iputils-ping, apt-utils, rsyslog - I found it easier to configure the container with these installed, could be added to the debian.json-file (But they where probably left out to make the template slimmer) But it looks like this is otherwise working quite ok, thanks a lot! _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
