Proxmox v4 Containers Questions

[starnetwork]

Hi,
about Proxmox v4 long term vision / roadmap, just to know:
1. you will go leave OpenVZ or it's just temporary not supported?
2. LXC, it's supporting Bandwidth limit for each VM like KVM?
3. any general estimate for RC / GA Release?

Regards,

no more openvz

2. LXC, it's supporting Bandwidth limit for each VM like KVM?

not yet implemented, but it'll be done soon.

thanks for that update!
just wander about the OpenVZ
the LXC is better?
asking just since I see that OpenVZ have some "Plans for the future״ and continuity
http://openvz.livejournal.com/49158.html
no way to support both?

Regards,

no one has experience with LXC?

as LXC is new on Proxmox VE, experience is limited as its still beta and not yet feature complete. but one great feature is that is works with any modern kernel and is or will be fully integrated in the Proxmox VE storage plugins. also snapshots are already implemented.

the upcoming openvz will work only with a customized 3.10 kernel, management tools will not be ready/stable before 2016 - so compared to the upcoming openvz, lxc looks not that bad.

 

[starnetwork]

thanks for that answer!
btw, as good as I see, it's not supporting CentOS 7.x

what should I do with all my OpenVZ Container that are CentOS 7.x?

We will try to make that work. AFAIK it just needs a newer version of systemd (> 218) inside the CT.

Seem that centos7 can work on lxc

(not sure about systemd)

How long will you support 3.x with Openvz after the 4.x release?

 

[wolfgang]

As long as Wheezy is old stable and as long as OpenVz patches the kernel.

I have some questions too

-LXC will be compatible with storage plugin => so ceph, lvm, zfs are OK to store LXC CT ?
- will it be possible to convert a CT to template, or to clone it ?
-will we be able to make linked clone with a CT ?

thanks bu advance for answers

yes, we try to implement that.

- will it be possible to convert a CT to template, or to clone it ?

yes

-will we be able to make linked clone with a CT ?

Yes, if underlying storage supports that (zfs, ceph).

 

[hugosxm]

amazing ! that's really good news for everybody i guess thanks for the answer so i can store my lxc CT on a directory right now and when lvm will be available a will be able to migrate or move ?

 

[wolfgang]

Yes you will able to move your CT to other storage types.

I would like to ask:

Is it possible to access directly to hard-disks of the host in a container ?
(I'm playing with a RAID5 created with OpenMediaVault in a Proxmox KVM, when i enter "fdisk -l" i see nothing i my container)
If its possible i will open a new Thread for some strange reactions of the system...



The Old Config for KVM:

[wolfgang]

yes you can give LXC mount points, but this is not implemented in PVE4.
