Hi everyone, first post here sorry if i miss some rules,

I played with LXC before but i just tried it in proxmox this weeks. All the CT i used are on Debian Buster and are setup via the proxmox webui. I got a strange behaviour on every LXC container i try to run :

- I create an unprivilege container
- I update/upgrade it and install some tools, let's say an ssh server
- I reboot the container
- On reboot, every services are waiting except networking.service, which is running
- At some point (like if i wait 5 minutes), systemctl list-jobs just says "no jobs running"

I don't get it, and i tried some solution i found online like adding lxc.mount.auto: sys to /etc/pve/lxc/<id>.conf or nesting=1 but none of that works.

I don't really know which logs are relevant in that case but feel free to guide me if it ever happen to you.

systemd --version : systemd 241

UPDATE : Ok so if i wait more than that everything goes back to normal, the services start and it works. Is it possible that networking.service takes a lot of time to start, locking other services ?

I'm tempted to mark it as solved but something still wrong here

Hi,
yes systemd allows to wait for other services to start before others.
Maybe debugging with systemd-analyze blame https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-analyze.html
gives info on what service is blocking. journalctl -r might also give hints.

Thanks a lot @Chris !

Indeed, systemd-analyze blame return 5min 31ms networking.service and i think other services are waiting for it. I'll read the doc and learn how to configure other services to start before networking.service, if possible.
Do you think it's a normal behaviour ? Or it shouldn't be so long for it to start ?

You should not configure other services to start before their dependency is ready, that makes no sense and will lead to more issues. You should instead try to find out why this service is taking so long. Check journalctl -u networking.service for errors and logs.
Maybe it is waiting for an IP via DHCP and can not reach the DHCP server? Just a guess...

Yep, you seems right :

Still, ip a gives the right ip address even if networking did not start, and i can ping the CT. I guess the problem could be solve by assigning a static ip address instead of doing it via dhcp ?

Thanks a lot for your time !
 
It's seems like DHCP was the problem here, as @Chris said. After a certain period of time, the container completely lost any internet connection. That's a strange behaviour and i'm not qualified enough to investigate this, unfortunately...

I solved this problem by assigning a static ip to the containers, it seems to work fine for now.

i'd also make sure the static addresses you assigned aren't in the DHCP range, to avoid having the same issue later on. maybe leave some ip block unavailable for DHCP

Still, ip a gives the right ip address even if networking did not start, and i can ping the CT. I guess the problem could be solve by assigning a static ip address instead of doing it via dhcp ?

Thanks a lot for your time !
From the previous output it seems that your container requested an IPv6 address via DHCP. So maybe your DHCP server only provides IPv4? This could mean simply setting IPv4 to DHCP and IPv6 to static could solve the problem.

Exactly, i hadn't enable what my ISP call "DHCPv6", i did it and everything works just fine. This was kind of a stupid problem, but now i know.

Last question : if i enable "static" in the ipv6 container config and leave the box blank, will it ask for an ipv6 or not ?

Thanks a lot for all your knowledge, i learnt a lot about networking and container this week !

With static and leaving the field blank you will simply not set a ipv6 address. Then you will not get an ipv6 address via DHCP.
Glad it works!
