Gentoo VPS Project – better support for VServer in Gentoo. Yahoooo!
...First, we have created the Gentoo VPS project, in order to concert the development of different implementations, and provide a convenient way for use with gentoo. The project page can be found at http://dev.croup.de/proj/gentoo-vps including Documentation and anonymous SVN access to our repository. The repository contains all patches and scripts for ebuilds in portage (openvz-sources, vserver-sources, util-vserver and vzctl), an experimental overlay, vserver stage building scripts and of course baselayout-vserver…
What’s new and interesting: support for building the vservers from stages/templates :
1. build the template from stage3 tarball
# vserver-new gentoo-template \ --hostname gentoo \ --context 1253 \ --interface eth0:192.168.1.253/24 \ stage3 /path/to/stage3-tarball.tar.bz2 <arch> # cd /vservers/gentoo-template # tar cjvpf /templates/gentoo-template.tar.bz2 ./
2. build vserver from the template above
# cd /vservers # vserver-new myguest \ --hostname myguest \ --context 1252 \ --interface eth0:192.168.1.252/24 \ template /templates/gentoo-template.tar.bz2
What’s still missing: mass emerge for all vservers , so i can do vemerge—sync and vemerge system. Can this be emulated by SwitchTower task?
