[SOLVED] Gentoo systemd containers not start after upgrade to 8.0.4

[Jorge Ventura]

My previous gentoo systemd containers didn't start after upgrade from 7 to 8 and here the solution:

1. # pct mount <CT#>
2. # touch /var/lib/lxc/<CT#>/rootfs/etc/inittab
3. # pct unmount <CT#>

The patch I developed for version 7 to support gentoo LXC containers using systemd is still applicable for version 8 and new containers created there is no problem.

Thank you for the patch, I have tested and it's worked.
But in source code you have misspell in setup_network function: "Netowrk" -> "Network".

Fixed version is in attach.

A new version of the patch arrived.
Tested with Proxmox 8.3.1.

1. Added IPv6 support
2. Removed extra openrc strings in systemd-networkd iface config file

Since recent updates the latest patch no longer works. I have applied the same changes again manually and saved an entire file (attached).
I think it is better to avoid overwriting file on system update instead of reapplying a patch (which can fail). One can do this using dpkg-divert command:

# Assuming Gentoo.pm is in current directory
dpkg-divert --divert /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Setup/Gentoo.pm.orig --rename --local /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Setup/Gentoo.pm
cp Gentoo.pm /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Setup/Gentoo.pm
