[SOLVED] Pass NIC to unprivileged CT

[ninjabes]

Dear community!

I am currently wrapping my head around a problem which I am not sure how to solve.

I have 10GB NIC with two slots and I want to access each slot from a different CT. Both CTs are privileged and I can see the card via lspci. However, I cannot see the network interfaces in each of the CTs. I dont want to use a bridge because I want to use one of the CTs as a PTP host. Is this even possible? What do I have to do?

Thank you very much in advance!

AFAIK you can't do this with containers. Further, even with a VM you will only be able to pass the whole card to a single VM.

You could see if SRIOV is supported on the card and suitable for your use case. According to this blog, you can pass the individual VF to a container

I was able to pass a single NIC directly to a container.
