CentOS LXC template with sshd

[Henrique]

Hey guys,

The Proxmox CentOS container is really minimal, and doesn't include sshd installed out of the box. Is it possible to include a more complete version on the templates repositories?

I have downloaded one template from the internet, but I can't login into it using VNC as it doesn't allow that particular TTY.

Also, another related question: how can I create my own LXC template?

Thanks!

Hi Henrique!

Hmm...
I installed LXC containers: debian-8.0-standard and ubuntu-14.04-standard. Both with sshd installed.

But by default in /etc/ssh/sshd_config in authentication section is set parameter "PermitRootLogin without-password".
Maybe problem with this? May be in CentOS it's the same?
Then set this parameter as "PermitRootLogin yes" (login from GUI console).

We currently do not create that template ourselves. It is the one from

https://images.linuxcontainers.org/images/centos/

You can use 'dab' for debian and ubuntu based images:

Thank you both for your replies!

Nop, the sshd service isn't even installed. My first has to be `yum install openssl-server`

Is there any similar command for centos images?
