[Bug 1675163] Re: Don't attempt to create devices in LXC containers

FWIW, I ran into that issue today as well, and it was really annoying. So I fixed in in Debian in a generic way, so this should work for every container solution out there. It requires systemd-detect-virt (systemd) to be installed prior to installing makedev though (which usually is the case).

[Bug 1675163] Re: Don't attempt to create devices in LXC containers

Not detecting arachsys containers is a high impact bug. My production servers running on Ubuntu 16.04 can no longer be updated anymore as apt is stuck on applying the makedev package which of course always fails. I understand it is cumbersome to add all possible container types to the script.

[Bug 1675163] Re: Don't attempt to create devices in LXC containers

EH uses Arachsys contain for their containers - this is based on the same kernel cgroups technology as LXC, but aims to be more lightweight. If it's a bug not to detect LXC, it's logically a bug not to detect other container systems that work the same way, and makedev should include this as a

[Bug 1675163] Re: Don't attempt to create devices in LXC containers

I've found the issue. My container is not LXC, it's supplied by elastichosts.com, a cloud provider, and must be based on some other containerization technology. /proc/1/environ does not contain container=lxc as checked for by the postinit script in makedev, but it does have container=contain in
