Tárgy: Re: [DNG] LXC template for Devuan
Greetings,

Just a quick update.

The problem we had with lxc-devuan is indeed a version incompatibility
between the later LXC version 1.1.5 and the Devuan version 1.0.6. But
hey, at least we're ready for the later version!

I haven't updated on GitLab yet, but the good news is I already have a
fix ready for the incompatibility problem, and have successfully tested
it with Devuan's lxc package. Please see test info at bottom.

*All* other issues identified up to this point have also been fixed,
including those pesky Perl warnings (Thanks KatolaZ for your response on
that!)

To support earlier releases the easiest thing is to supply a different
config directory. The updated template works fine for both the old and
new releases, so that won't require special treatment.

I intend to do a bit more testing tomorrow PM before pushing the updates
to GitLab. I'll let everyone know once it's available.


Simon, Once the updates are in GitLab, and since you expressed an
interest, can I email you directly about testing?

I successfully nested LXC within LXC so that technique can be used to
test lxc-devuan inside some other OS distros.

Once the wrinkles have been ironed out, we can write a simple install
script to figure out the install path, and detect which config to copy.

Thanks,

Greg
