Hi guys!
The same way I hold some VMs for some apps I might not trust well enough to share with the rest of my OS/partition, I’d like to be able to do the same, but with LXC instead, possibly reducing overhead (and perhaps increasing ache in the head). I was wondering if the GUI Virt-manager can do this? It seems after installing libvirt-daemon-lxc, libvirtd, libvirt-client-qemu I’m able to connect to the LXC daemon in my system. However, I’m not sure how to follow a similar process as perhaps Proxmox, to build a, say, fully blown ubuntu LXC from a template. How should I do this?
Thanks!
virt-manager is able to work wit lxc. Add a new connection of type Libvirt-LXC.
Yup! I got that far. But when I try to create a new VM/container using LXC instead, I’m prompted for an URI. i have no idea what I’m supposed to enter there. In Proxmox it just downloads the templates itself from its own repository, but i have no idea what I’m supposed to input here. I didn’t find any guide about this :(
It asks for a path to a root directory of a bootstraped container. You can create it with
debootstrap,rinse,pacstrap,alpine-chroot-install,virt-bootstrapetc.Thank you for the information! Since Proxmox does this by itself with those templates it uses, I never did this process. I guess I’ll check some guide…thanks a lot!
