[Bug 824167] Re: wishlist: connect to lxc container by name using avahi
Given comment #5, I am going to mark this 'wontfix', as its a clever idea that seems like overkill. If someone wants to write the patch to do this I won't be opposed. ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824167 Title: wishlist: connect to lxc container by name using avahi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/824167/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 824167] Re: wishlist: connect to lxc container by name using avahi
The templates tweak dhclient.conf so that the container should send its hostname. If you have dnsmasq running (i.e. if you are connecting your clients to a libvirt bridge), and your host has 'nameserver 192.168.122.1' at the top, then you should be able to 'ssh container.'. Since lxc is not setting up your network environment, I'm not sure that it is proper for lxc itself to do any more.

Apparently that doesn't work. I modified the host's dhclient.conf to add: prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.122.1; Such that /etc/resolv.conf now contains: nameserver 192.168.122.1 nameserver 10.0.1.1 dnsmasq seems to be running: 1366 dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid- file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid --conf-file= --except- interface lo --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 --dhcp-lease-max=253 --dhcp-no-override Interestingly, seems like there's no route to the 192.168.122.0 network on the host, so maybe something is broken on my side: route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 10.0.1.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 00 virbr0 0.0.0.0 10.0.1.10.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 1004 00 virbr0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824167 Title: wishlist: connect to lxc container by name using avahi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/824167/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

After a reboot, this is now working! May I change the suggestion to use avahi to instead modify the host's dhclient.conf as I done above instead? Or maybe you can come up with a better way to do it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824167 Title: wishlist: connect to lxc container by name using avahi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/824167/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Quoting Sidnei da Silva (824...@bugs.launchpad.net): After a reboot, this is now working! May I change the suggestion to use avahi to instead modify the host's dhclient.conf as I done above instead? Or maybe you can come up with a better way to do it. I'm afraid I know nothing about avahi. Can you explain a bit more about what you are suggesting? IIUC your suggestion would be a good one, but should be done for libvirt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824167 Title: wishlist: connect to lxc container by name using avahi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/824167/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 824167] Re: wishlist: connect to lxc container by name using avahi
Avahi is nothing more than a multicast-dns implementation. if avahi- daemon is installed in the container and libnss-mdns (IIRC) in the host, then the container will broadcast it's hostname through mdns and the host would be able to resolve it. It might be overkill however, specially since the dhclient/resolv.conf option works fine as you pointed out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824167 Title: wishlist: connect to lxc container by name using avahi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/824167/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
