[SOLVED] Container Can't Update

[Raymond Burns]

Anytime I try to do container updates, they don't resolve.
I have done for debian

nano /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 10.1.222.99

nano /etc/hostname

staging
localhost

nano /etc/hosts/

10.1.222.99 staging
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost

nano /etc/network/interfaces

# Auto generated lo interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


# Auto generated venet0 interface
auto venet0
iface venet0 inet manual
        up ifconfig venet0 up
        up ifconfig venet0 127.0.0.2
        up route add default dev venet0
        down route del default dev venet0
        down ifconfig venet0 down




iface venet0 inet6 manual
        up route -A inet6 add default dev venet0
        down route -A inet6 del default dev venet0
        down ifconfig venet0 down




iface venet0 inet6 manual
        up route -A inet6 add default dev venet0
        down route -A inet6 del default dev venet0


auto venet0:0
iface venet0:0 inet static
        address 10.1.222.99
        netmask 255.255.255.255
        gateway 10.1.222.1

What am I missing? I can connect to the container through SSH, but I can't access the mirrors for updates from the container

nano /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 10.1.222.99

Try 8.8.8.8

That's ok. Started a new container, and it worked with minimal changes

Added my IP to /etc/hosts
Added my DNS to /etc/resolv.conf

That's all that was needed.
