Hi,
I'm starting to use LXC with a view to service segregation and have come up
against a wall in terms of my lack of networking knowledge - I'm now
second-guessing myself on everything. So I'd appreciate some suggestions from
yourselves.
I've previously used VirtualBox for a LAMP & RoR environment for self-hosting.
I'm now running a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 VM with LXC installed. So far, this VM has
a single interface (eth0) using VirtualBox's Bridged Networking and configured
with a public IP. This all works fine and I tested connecting to a container
running a web server from an external connection.
My intention is to have a container running nginx as a reverse proxy and
containers running the various combinations of Apache, PHP, RoR, MySQL, etc
software for the web apps I want. After experimenting (mixed success) with
combinations of the Ubuntu default lxcbr0 (nginx container attached) and
macvlan (the other containers + additional interface in the nginx container)
I've come back around to looking at simply attaching all containers to lxcbr0.
I don't think anything I want to run would have an issue with NAT. I would then
port forward connections to the public IP for web onto the nginx container and
so on for other services. The nginx container would proxy to the various apache
container instances - as they're all connected to lxcbr0 i'm assuming from what
I've read that's as straightforward as a regular LAN.
As I say, after a few days of experimenting, I'm second guessing myself on
everything so would appreciate someone sanity checking my plan. I'm completely
open to alternatives if there's a better way of doing this.
Thanks,
James
