Warning - I'm fairly new to libvirt, lxc and systemd so there is a good
chance I'm doing something terribly wrong here. However, instead of
continuing to struggle, I figured I would mail the list for some
advice. What I'm trying to accomplish is a libvirt-lxc, systemd-based
container running on my system (Fedora 19). I've read that sharing the
underlying OS filesystem with the containers doesn't work, so I've
installed a minimal Fedora 19 install in /srv/mycontainer. Everything
seems to work okay but what I'm struggling with is how to setup the
initial accounts. I've tried to attach to the container using 'nsenter'
(entering all the namespaces) but it doesn't appear that the bind mounts
are in place. For example, I see the /etc/passwd for my host OS, not
the container. Is there a better way to setup the initial accounts on
the container?
Here is what I have installed:
$ rpm -qa | grep lxc
libvirt-daemon-driver-lxc-1.0.5.2-1.fc19.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-lxc-1.0.5.2-1.fc19.x86_64
$ rpm -qa | grep systemd
systemd-libs-204-9.fc19.x86_64
systemd-python-204-9.fc19.x86_64
systemd-sysv-204-9.fc19.x86_64
systemd-libs-204-9.fc19.i686
systemd-204-9.fc19.x86_64
Here is the scenario I'm trying to go through:
$ export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=lxc:///
$ getenforce
Enforcing
$ sudo yum -y --releasever=19 --nogpg --installroot=/srv/mycontainer
--disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedora install systemd passwd yum
fedora-release vim-minimal
... lots of output
$ ls /srv/mycontainer/
bin boot dev etc home lib lib64 media mnt opt proc root run
sbin srv sys tmp usr var
$ cat test2.xml
<domain type='lxc'>
<name>test2</name>
<memory>102400</memory>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64'>exe</type>
<init>/bin/systemd</init>
</os>
<devices>
<console type='pty'/>
<filesystem type='mount'>
<source dir='/srv/mycontainer'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
</devices>
</domain>
$ virsh define test2.xml
Domain test2 defined from test2.xml
$ virsh start test2
Domain test2 started
# Attach to container to set account passwords
$ sudo nsenter -m -u -i -n -p -t `pgrep -f test2`
[sudo] password for mhicks:
[root@localhost /]# diff -q /srv/mycontainer/etc/passwd /etc/passwd
Files /srv/mycontainer/etc/passwd and /etc/passwd differ
Any ideas?
