 |
|
Using the simplest | Code: | | # lxc-create -n slack -t slackware |
fails with | Code: | /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-slackware: line 717: type: slackpkg: not found
'slackpkg' command is missing.
lxc-create: slack: lxccontainer.c: create_run_template: 1621 Failed to create container from template
lxc-create: slack: tools/lxc_create.c: main: 319 Failed to create container slack |
Looking at the template the lines are: | Code: | type installpkg
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "'installpkg' command is missing."
exit 1
fi |
yet it seems this is not in any function, so it would be called on the gentoo host, which obviously doesn't have installpkg installed.
Am i missing something obvious? This is my first time diving into LXC.
Incidentally, i tried using virt-manager but it can only use, not create LXC containers, as it warns that "The OS directory tree must already exist. To enable OS directory tree creation, please install virt-bootstrap." This virt-bootstrap seems to be a link, but clicking goes nowhere. Also, it doesn't seem to be a gentoo package and i only find it in a git repo.
Any tips appreciated.
(Not interested in other OS or docker.) |

Where did you get this
| Code: |
/usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-slackware
|
Probably it is meant to be run on slackware machines.

File /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-slackware comes from app-emulation/lxc-templates and is sourced from a git repo.
I believe this is the template LXC uses to create a Slackware container. |

Where should i open a bug so that that package is removed?
And what's the current proper way of generating a slackware unprivileged container? The download template doesn't even have Slackware.
Replying to self, it seems the New Way is using distrobuilder, which also doesn't have slackware, but that's no longer a gentoo issue. |

You can do that in bugs.gentoo.org - but don't worry, I'll do it ~soon.

Yea I can't see slackware even for lxd. You might have to roll up your sleeves and generate one on your own ;) ofc you can maybe request it be added by upstream, but I doubt the demand for that is very high (since it takes a lot from them to generate and keep generating these images) |
