Re: [lxc-users] LXD connectors for any web VM management platforms?
Hi Jan, Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been testing Proxmox for a few weeks. I must say it’s not bad at all: - it supports ZFS (or CEPH) storage - allows high availability clusters - LXD and KVM - ACLs to different VMs or containers - offers basic monitoring - support pices are relatively decent But - it is Debian based - uses LXC instead of LXD - does not support live migration of containers or KVM live migration when using local storage (ZFS) - ?does not offer live kernel upgrade facility like Ubuntu does? - does not allow clones of lxc containers -didn’t find the fine grain resource control of LXD ( storage IOPS or Bandwidth,…) - containers don’t have access to snapshots The web interface is also not a complete customer portal. That being said I’ve seen there is a beta provider for ‘Foreman’ ( https://theforeman.org ) I’m still investigating it… Michel > On 2 Feb 2018, at 17:05, Jan Münnichwrote: > > Proxmox (https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve) is an open-source > virtualisation platform with web interface that supports LXC. > > Best, > Jan > > ___ > lxc-users mailing list > lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org > http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users ___ lxc-users mailing list lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
Re: [lxc-users] LXD connectors for any web VM management platforms?
HI Kees, Thanks for the info. I’ve already tried SaltStack but had the problem that the official LXC module was only lxc and not LXD. It worked, but the containers didn’t appear in ' lxc list’ . I’ll try the GitHub LXD formula. I’ve also seen that there is a module in Ansible that I will try soon. But I’ve also seen there are systems with web graphical interfaces that offer an abstraction layer above clouds that can offer a merged view on private cloud/virtualization/containers servers and public clouds: CloudForms ( ManageIQ) and Foreman are 2 of them. From what I understand they offer a sort of customer portal, and integrate orchestration for provisioning automatisation. I was wondering if there is something like that compatible with lxd. I didn’t find any myself.

Proxmox (https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve) is an open-source virtualisation platform with web interface that supports LXC. Best, Jan ___ lxc-users mailing list lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users

Hi Stéphane, On 01/30/18 17:17, Stéphane Graber wrote: Yeah, there's effectively no way to re-inject those mounts inside a running container. So you're going to need to restart those containers. Until then, you can "umount" the various lxcfs files from within the container so that rather than a complete failure to access those files, you just get the non-namespaced version of the file. AFAICS lxcfs is useful only for unprivileged containers. All my affected containers were privileged. I didn't ask for lxcfs, but it was used automatically, so I wonder how I can forbid lxcfs to be used for these containers? Do I have to deinstall lxcfs completely?
