I also came from the OpenVZ world (and Linux-vservers before it). I've been able to use the templates from OpenVZ with LXC with little effort. Basically, just remove the various vz-dummy packages from the rpm based distros and rebuild some of the /dev/ and kill udev (I put an "exit 0" in /etc/udev/udev.conf to cause udev-start to exit when it reads its config). At that point, I've got a template I can clone as much as I like. Several revs of CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Suse, and Ubuntu. I also have some frontend driver scripts which will convert an OpenVZ configuration over to a functional LXC container configuration you can feed to lxc-create. I've migrated over 3 dozen VM's that way. > Along those lines ... > > I have built a fedora 12 container and am hosting it on my server : > > http://bodhizazen.fivebean.net/LXC/ > > As time allows I will add containers for ubuntu (lucid) and probably > rawhide, i686 and x64_86. > > The server is fast and I have available space and would like to offer > space for hosting containers others may wish to contribute. > > I also posted two blogs re: building fedora 12 / rawhide containers as > well as ubuntu lucid. > > http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/lxc-configure-fedora-containers/ > http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/lxc-configure-ubuntu-lucid-containers/ > > I hope I did not mangle them too much =) > > As time allows I will add additional instructions. > > Is there any interest in reviewing on ling guides and posting a list > of how to's ?
