I have no qualms with you having switched from OpenVZ to LXC... but just to 
clarify, OpenVZ Legacy does indeed exist, gets regular updates, and will be 
supported until Nov. 2019 as seen here:

https://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel

While it is true that the EL6-based OpenVZ kernel branch is no longer the focus 
of their future development (Virtuozzo 7 is obviously), they are supporting it 
and will continue to.

Re: [PVE-User] Mastering Proxmox - a book about Proxmox VE is finally available

 Link to Amazon (ebook and paperback available):
 http://www.amazon.com/dp/1783980826/ref=rdr_ext_tmb

I bought the Kindle version... viewed it in the Amazon Cloud Reader... made 
screenshots... and assembled a PDF of images for my own personal use.

I haven't gone through it completely but it seems like a great covering of the 
material.  The only thing that irks me when I read it is the author just uses 
the word Proxmox rather than Proxmox VE'... everywhere.  Heck ven in the 
book title.  It should be Mastering Proxmox VE not Mastering Proxmox. :(

Re: [PVE-User] Container less secure than KVM?

2014-06-20 Thread Scott Dowdle
Greetings,

 I have notice that I can access the entire FileSystem of a OpenVZ
 Container, from Proxmox...
 
 Is that right?
 
 For my point of view, this is a security breach, once I can remove
 all files in /var/lib/vz/private/VMID!!!
 
 Or am I wrong?

That's how it has been (to the best of my knowledge) since SWsoft create 
Virtuozzo in 2001 and released OpenVZ in 2005.  About two years ago they added 
the ability to use disk image with ploop... kinda like how KVM does it.  It 
isn't a security breach.

You can also remove KVM VM disk images from the host node... and if you have 
libguestfs and tools installed, you can access the internals of those disk 
images and alter things as desired.

Any other questions? :)
