    Why LXC containers default to 2 TTYs

    I just noticed that in the default configuration of newly created LXC container, the TTY count defaults to 2. I changed it to 1 and nothing bad happens :p. Using web console and pct enter simultaneously doesn't break either. Just curious why it defaults to 2, I thought there might be a reason.

    [SOLVED] small LXC + tmpfs + journald with defaults => LXC die with OutOfMemory

    Hello All! I have been experiencing some LXC with small memory allocation stops, randomly dies silently without any trace of cause. Watching over time, I found that the most probably reason is out of memory. Allocating more memory allows it to run longer, but it fails anyway. When I try to find...

    I've tried upgrading a Fedora LXC from v40 to v41, but it fails to start, or rather it starts but does nothing. The Proxmox host is updated in full, so should be the latest-and-greatest as of writing. Anyone else seeing this, or can point at what's going wrong? root@pve:~# pveversion...
