  3. [SOLVED] "qm start 100" from a bash script

    Hello there, I've moved my SR-IOV start-up script out of a systemd unit and into a shell script invoked by a systemd unit after multi-user.target is reached. I did this as, at least on the 5.19 kernel, pve-guests.service seems to reset my NIC, or at least does something that causes SR-IOV to be...

  9. debian lxc - screen killed out logout

    So I've been struggling with this for a few hours and everything I've found online leads to huge arguments about how systemd (back in 2016?) changed a default to kill all user processes on logout. Well that sounds ok, but it kills things like screen. screen has been used for many many years...

    Hi all, I have a question about the current available LXC container template for Gentoo. The container is based on the 'init.d' system where I rather want to use 'systemd', also is the container slightly outdated (march-2020). Is there a build script or method to build a 'fresh' gentoo LXC...
  12. LXC CPU pinning

    Hello, I met a requirement to pin some container to certain CPU cores forever. This comes from the specific software we installed into the container and its licensing model. It checks CPUs and if it finds any dissimilarity with license file, it refuses to use that license file. My machine has...
