We just released a new vzctl package, supporting the immediate reboot of a container using vzeventd. (you need a current 2.6.18 or 2.6.32 kernel, 2.6.24 will NOT work).

Additionally, we fixed some issue in dab (supports now dependency based init) and updated a lot of appliances based on latest Debian Squeeze. If you build your own appliances with dab, you should take a look on the example appliances.

Release notes:

- vzctl (3.0.26-1pve3)
  • vzeventd support
  • update to vzctl-3.0.26.3 release
  • remove stale cron scripts
  • fix /etc/init.d/vzeventd - do not fail on non-openvz kernels
  • change openvz startup priority from 20 to 21
- pve-manager (1.8-17)
  • update appliance infos
  • disable chrooted environment (remove pvebash). That feature is not really used and is considered dangerous.
- dab (1.1-14) - updates for dependency based init
  • include SUITE-updates for squeeze
  • use insserv instead of update-rc.d (for newer versions)
- new and updated OS appliances
  • Debian 6 (i386 and amd64)
  • Ubuntu 10.04 and 11.04 (i386 and amd64)
  • Fedora 14 (i386 and amd64)
  • Centos 4 and 5 (i386 and amd64)
- updated application templates
  • Request Tracker (with RTFM)
  • Joomla
  • SugarCRM
  • Drupal
  • Wordpress

Thanks a lot. Good work!

Nice to see OpenVZ tools in development. May be you find the time to update the pve-kernel-2.6.18 to ovzkernel-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5.028stab089.1.src.rpm . (This will solve some small problems)

BTW. Do we will have 2.6.18 in Proxmox 2.0? I cannot see kernel version in roadmap.

That is already in the pvetest repository.

BTW. Do we will have 2.6.18 in Proxmox 2.0? I cannot see kernel version in roadmap.

The plan is to use the new RHEL6 based kernel (2.6.32) instead.
 
Hi,

on our testserver i have installed the latest pvetest from repository but i am missing the latest ubuntu 11 in the appliances list.

Regards, valle
 
yes, we decided to list only long-term releases of Ubuntu.
 
Hi,
Any chances to see lucid (ubuntu 10.04) in dab ?
I've tried to build a minimal 10.04 from dab but lucid isn't in the recognized distros.

Thank's for your work.

Regards
paulo
 
yes, the current dab does not support lucid and there is just limited interest around. we have other priorities in the moment, just use squeeze or the precreated one.
