Hi,
I would need better random numbers available in one container as it is too low to setup needed software:
I installed rngd daemon on the host to improve entropy availability which basically works for the host itself (I know using urandom is not a totally good idea but I don't have a chance to get a hardware dongle attached to my server).
However effect on container seems to be minimal. I also tried to run rngd directly inside of the container but wasn't able to give write access to /dev/random device from inside the container - and in the end the host system should be the correct place I guess.
Of course I could use a KVM machine instead, in fact I tried this and it worked with the help of rngd running inside the guest system.
But how should this be handled for virtual containers in general? I wasn't able to find anything useful via Google search but maybe here is somebody to contribute some thoughts.
Regards,
Julian
