6 The container technology is actively being pushed into the mainstream linux
7 kernel. It provides the resource management through the control groups aka
8 process containers and resource isolation through the namespaces.
7f989f01 9
e54d6cce 10 The linux containers, lxc, aims to use these new functionalities to pro-
14a198d5

11 vide an userspace container object which provides full resource isolation
12 and resource control for an applications or a system.

14 The first objective of this project is to make the life easier for the ker-
15 nel developers involved in the containers project and especially to con-
16 tinue working on the Checkpoint/Restart new features. The lxc is small
17 enough to easily manage a container with simple command lines and complete
18 enough to be used for other purposes.

32 For an even more bleeding edge experience, you may want to look at the
33 staging branch where all changes aimed at the next release land before
34 getting pulled into the master branch.

37 For detailed build instruction refer to INSTALL and man lxc man page
38 but a short command line should work:
e54d6cce 39 ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install && sudo lxc-setcap
14a198d5 40 preceded by ./autogen.sh if configure do not exist yet.

14a198d5 49Portability:

14a198d5

51 lxc is still in development, so the command syntax and the API can
52 change. The version 1.0.0 will be the frozen version.

54 lxc is developed and tested on Linux since kernel mainline version 2.6.27
55 (without network) and 2.6.29 with network isolation.

56 It's compiled with gcc, and should work on most architectures as long as the
57 required kernel features are available. This includes (but isn't limited to):
58 i686, x86_64, ppc, ppc64, S390, armel and armhf.

63Seccomp with LXC
64----------------
65
66To restrict a container with seccomp, you must specify a profile which is
67basically a whitelist of system calls it may execute. In the container
68config file, add a line like
69
70lxc.seccomp = /var/lib/lxc/q1/seccomp.full
71
72I created a usable (but basically worthless) seccomp.full file using
73
74cat > seccomp.full << EOF
751
76whitelist
77EOF
78for i in `seq 0 300`; do
14d9c0f0 79 echo $i >> secomp.full

80done
81for i in `seq 1024 1079`; do
14d9c0f0 82 echo $i >> seccomp.full
