Rocky Linux Template

[muzzol]

Hi, I know it's unsupported but have anyone tried to run Rocky Linux template?

I downloaded template from here https://uk.images.linuxcontainers.org/images/rockylinux/8/amd64/default/

but it complains about wrong version and I'm not sure about what should I modify on /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Setup/CentOS.pm

If anyone tried, please share your experience.

thanks!

Working fine for me. But instead of default, I'm using cloud images. Detection should work fine for you too, part of CentOS.pm for version detection:

    if (($release =~ m/release\s+(\d+\.\d+)(\.\d+)?/) || ($release =~ m/release\s+(\d+)/)) {
        if ($1 >= 5 && $1 <= 9) {
            $version = $1;
        }
    }

And here is redhat-release from Rocky image:

Rocky Linux release 8.4 (Green Obsidian)

In this case $1 = 8.4

thanks a lot for your info.
any particular reason you're using cloud images instead of default?

Actually I don't remember, but I think I had some issue(s) with default ones - but this is long long time ago.

Curious, which version of pve were/are you using? I'm trying to deploy a rocky template to pve7, which deploys apparently fine but once running I keep getting "Failed to create bus connection: No such file or directory" for various commands.

 

[mhaluska]

# pveversion
pve-manager/6.4-12/8c75fb0e (running kernel: 5.4.119-1-pve)

I forgot to ask the more important question- is it a priviledged or unprivileged container?

 

[mhaluska]

Priviledged and unprivileged tested, both are working fine. I can test also on PVE 7.0, I've one in VM for testing.

Tested privileged and unprivileged, both are working fine in my PVE 7.0 VM (just required additional reboot after 1st start to take configured IP address)

Unprivileged:

arch: amd64
cores: 2
hostname: rocky-unprivileged
memory: 1024
nameserver: 10.31.1.1
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,gw=10.31.1.1,hwaddr=92:AB:98:66:F4:73,ip=10.31.1.201/24,type=veth
ostype: centos
rootfs: local-zfs:subvol-3101201-disk-0,mountoptions=noatime,size=3G
searchdomain: <mydomain>.local
swap: 0
unprivileged: 1

Privileged:

arch: amd64

are you able to connect via proxmox console, and are you able to issue systemctl commands?

Working = I'm able to do everything. Those LXC containers are working fine and are reachable from outside.

 

[alexskysilk]

Thanks! I will give it another shot. the only obvious difference I can see is that storage- I will try to replicate your envoirnment and see if that makes a difference.

Hi, Which file to download as container template ? rootfs.tar.xz ? disc.qcow2 ? ...

Hello.

I think that the latest Rocky Linux images can be found here:
