OpenVZ is EOL since a long time, and it's approach heavily modified the upstream kernel and made following upstream hard. We most certainly do not want to add that big known tech debt again after being able to provide a modern CT stack using native Linux technology. I could not find anything to CloudLinux and CT live-migration, albeit the might use Virtuozo kernel (successor of openVZ), but nowadays that also uses LXC IIRC. > When will live migration on ProxMox for lxc containers re-appear? Not anytime soon, and it's not unlikely that this will never come for LXC. Use VMs when you need live-migration anytime soon. Background: Containers are to intertwined with the kernel, and while CRIU tries to provide a solution for serializing a set of processes (like those of the CT) to a file and be able to load it again, it's quite limited and that's not to say the CRIU devs don't try, it's an extremely hard problem. And that gets even harder due to the kernel continuously changing, gaining new features and changing how the internal state looks like for existing ones; i.e., even if one would have answers for every CRIU problem, it still would need a ton of maintenance work to tag along. Virtual machines OTOH have a clear state and memory boundary designed with these requirement in mind, thus it's relatively (!) easy to do there regards, Thomas _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
