People hi! :)

I just noticed an anomaly on a lxc container freshly installed with a debian 10 template.
Indeed, after installing the container I launched an "apt update && apt-upgrade" then "apt install mariadb-server".
Here is the error message I just had:

Code:
systemctl status mariadb.service

Jul 14 13:00:21 mariadb systemd[1]: Failed to start MariaDB 10.3.15 database server.

By doing the same manipulation but with a debian template 9, I do not have this problem.

An idea ?

My server runs on debian 9 and proxmox 5.4-11 and lxc container on debian 10.
 
@tom Maybe if Debian Buster is detected, LXC should automatically enable nesting?

we leave this decision to the user, as there are some implications to using nesting (such as exposing /proc and /sys from the host)
 
It seems like this problem ist till not solved on 6.0.9:

I can't start the mariadb service inside the container, even not with nested=1 This makes lxc more or less unusable for me ... This whole lxc stuff looks pretty buggy ...
 
Hmm, i just created a new unpriviledged Debian 10 container on PVE 6.0-9 from the PVE template (pveam) on ZFS, activated nesting, installed mariadb and it worked:

Code:
