What is lxc:
|
|
|
|
The container technology is actively being pushed into the mainstream linux
|
|
kernel. It provides the resource management through the control groups aka
|
|
process containers and resource isolation through the namespaces.
|
|
|
|
The linux containers, lxc, aims to use these new functionnalities to pro-
|
|
vide an userspace container object which provides full resource isolation
|
|
and resource control for an applications or a system.
|
|
|
|
The first objective of this project is to make the life easier for the ker-
|
|
nel developers involved in the containers project and especially to con-
|
|
tinue working on the Checkpoint/Restart new features. The lxc is small
|
|
enough to easily manage a container with simple command lines and complete
|
|
enough to be used for other purposes.
|
|
|
|
Using lxc:
|
|
|
|
Refer the lxc* man pages (generated from doc/* files)
|
|
|
|
Downloading the current source code:
|
|
|
|
Source for the latest released version can always be downloaded from
|
|
http://lxc.sourceforge.net/download/lxc
|
|
|
|
You can browse the up to the minute source code and change history online.
|
|
http://lxc.git.sourceforge.net
|
|
|
|
For detailed build instruction refer to INSTALL and man lxc man page
|
|
but a short command line should work:
|
|
./configure && make && sudo make install && sudo lxc-setcap
|
|
preceded by ./autogen.sh if configure do not exist yet.
|
|
|
|
Getting help:
|
|
|
|
when you find you need help, you can check out one of the two
|
|
lxc mailing list archives and register if interested:
|
|
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-devel
|
|
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-users
|
|
|
|
Portability:
|
|
|
|
lxc is still in development, so the command syntax and the API can
|
|
change. The version 1.0.0 will be the frozen version.
|
|
|
|
lxc is developed and tested on Linux since kernel mainline version 2.6.27
|
|
(without network) and 2.6.29 with network isolation.
|
|
is compiled with gcc, and supports i686, x86_64, ppc, ppc64, S390 archi.
