Here is a patch to introduce a configurable system-wide
lxcpath. It seems to work with lxc-create, lxc-start,
and basic python3 lxc usage through the api.
For shell functions, a new /usr/share/lxc/lxc.functions is
introduced which sets some of the basic global variables,
including evaluating the right place for lxc_path.
I have not converted any of the other python code, as I was
not sure where we should keep the common functions (i.e.
for now just default_lxc_path()).
configure.ac: add an option for setting the global config file name.
utils: add a default_lxc_path() function
Use default_lxc_path in .c files
define get_lxc_path() and set_lxc_path() in C api
use get_lxc_path() in lua api
create sh helper for getting default path from config file
fix up scripts to use lxc.functions
Changelog:
feb6:
fix lxc_path in lxc.functions
utils.c: as Dwight pointed out, don't close a NULL fin.
utils.c: fix the parsing of lxcpath line
lxc-start: print which rcfile we are using
commands.c: As Dwight alluded to, the sockname handling was just
ridiculous. Clean that up.

Until now, if a lxc-* (i.e. lxc-start) command did not specify a logfile
(with -o logfile), the default was effectively 'none'. With this patch,
the default becomes a per-container log file.
If a container config file specifies 'lxc.logfile', that will override
the default. If a '-o logfile' argument is specifed at lxc-start,
then that will override both the default and the configuration file
entry. Finally, '-o none' can be used to avoid having a logfile at
all (in other words, the previous default), and that will override
a lxc.logfile entry in the container configuration file.
If the user does not have rights to open the default, then 'none' will
be used. However, in that case an error will show up on console. (We
can work on removing that if it annoys people, but I think it is
helpful, at least while we're still ironing this set out) If the user
or container configuration file specified a logfile, and the user does
not have rights to open the default, then the action will fail.
One slight "mis-behavior" which I have not fixed (and may not fix) is
that if a lxc.logfile is specified, the default logfile will still
get created before we read the configuration file to find out there
is a lxc.logfile entry.
changelog: Jan 24:
add --enable-configpath-log configure option
When we log to /var/lib/lxc/$container/$container.log, several things
need to be done differently than when we log into /var/log/lxc (for
instance). So give it a configure option so we know what to do
When the user specifies a logfile, we bail if we can't open it. But
when opening the default logfile, the user may not have rights to
open it, so in that case ignore it and continue as if using 'none'.
When using /var/lib/lxc/$c/$c.log, we use $LOGPATH/$name/$name.log.
Otherwise, we use $LOGPATH/$name.log.
When using /var/lib/lxc/$c/$c.log, don't try to create the log path
/var/lib/lxc/$c. It can only not exist if the container doesn't
exist. We don't want to create the directory in that case. When
using /var/log/lxc, then we do want to create the path if it does
not exist.

The logfile changes broke lxc-info and possibly more command line
tools. Revert for now until we get those issues addressed.
This reverts commit 74476cf144.
[ Thanks to Stéphane and Dwight for the feedback on the previous patch ]
Until now, if a lxc-* (i.e. lxc-start) command did not specify a logfile
(with -o logfile), the default was effectively 'none'. With this patch,
the default becomes $LOGPATH/<container>/<container>.log. LOGPATH is
specified at configure time with '--with-log-path='. If unspecified, it
is $LXCPATH, so that logs for container r2 will show up at
/var/lib/lxc/r2/r2/log. LOGPATH must exist, while lxc will make sure to
create $LOGPATH/<name>. As another example, Ubuntu will likely specify
--with-log-path=/var/log/lxc (and place /var/log/lxc into
debian/lxc.dirs), placing r2's logs in /var/log/lxc/r2/r2.log.
If a container config file specifies 'lxc.logfile', that will override
the default. If a '-o logfile' argument is specifed at lxc-start,
then that will override both the default and the configuration file
entry. Finally, '-o none' can be used to avoid having a logfile at
all (in other words, the previous default), and that will override
a lxc.logfile entry in the container configuration file.

--enable-python.
A basic example of the API can be found in src/python-lxc/test.py.

This turns liblxc into a public library implementing a container structure.
The container structure is meant to cover most LXC commands and can easily be

Hi,
This patch is so far just a proof of concept. The libseccomp api will be
changing soon so it probably wouldn't be worth pulling this until it is
updated for the new API.
This patch introduces support for seccomp to lxc. Seccomp lets a program
restrict its own (and its children's) future access to system calls. It
uses a simple whitelist system call policy file. It would probably be
better to switch to something more symbolic (i.e specifying 'open' rather
than the syscall #, especially given container arch flexibility).
I just wanted to get this out there as a first step. You can also get
source for an ubuntu package based on this patch at

This could be done as generic 'lsm_init()' and 'lsm_load()' functions,
however that would make it impossible to compile one package supporting
more than one lsm. If we explicitly add the selinux, smack, and aa
hooks in the source, then one package can be built to support multiple
kernels.
The smack support should be pretty trivial, and probably very close
to the apparmor support.
The selinux support may require more, including labeling the passed-in
fds (consoles etc) and filesystems.
If someone on the list has the inclination and experience to add selinux
support, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll do Smack and SELinux.

Of course. You mean, that you what default behaviour to remain
auto-detection? That is:
--enable-doc: require docbook2man or fail, generate mans
--enable-doc=auto, or not specified (default): check for docbook2man,
generate mans if found, silently ignore if not found (I suppose
diagnostic message is redundant, as information already contains into
./configure --help)
--disable-doc: never check for docbook2man and don't gen mans
Here comes a patch what do this, as far as I see
(I'm sorry for violating post-rules in previous mail, now I'll do all
right, I hope. Should I attach patch anyway, as it might be usefull
for applying?)

This is useless in a Linux only environment. The .so version is
the version of the package.

Instead of passing the LXCPATH definition in the compiler
command line, use configure.ac to define the value in the config.h
file and include this file where it is needed.

These tests are not relevant now. It would be better to write
some real test cases with some script using the lxc cli in order
to check non regression.
I remove these annoying tests I have to port each time a function
prototype is changed.

With some versions of the compiler/headers linux/netlink.h won't compile
if sys/socket.h is defined before it.

Ship the manpages in the source tarball made by 'make dist', and clean
them up only during the 'make maintainer-clean' step. This allows
distributions not to depend on docbook at lxc build time, because the
manpages are already there.
Also update the configure warning message to sound less scary.

"netlink headers not found" implicitely means we have to install the
kernel headers. Make this explicit.

Probably a mention to libcap-2 is worth keeping, though it might be
clearer to point to setcap binary directly.

Rationale: some distributions don't include /sbin in PATH for regular
users, thus setcap might not be found during configure

The capability.h header is broken on fedora 11.
The workaround is to include <sys/types.h> before <sys/capability.h>.

Rename lxc-config to lxc-version in order to avoid the confusion
with what looks like a container configuration tool.

As we have the correct informations with pkg-config we can
write a script which will collect the informations and we get
rid of the C program.

Note that the few man pages that refer to man

When no tty number is specified in the command line,
let the tty service to provide choose one available
tty and provide this one.
The documentation is updated wrt this modification and
I did a little fix to generate the date of the documentation.
