lxc Linux Containers

BlueVM · June 2012

Is anyone interested in the LXC visualization? If so have you used it before or would you just like to?

If I offered a few beta accounts / free trails would anyone want one?

MrAndroid · June 2012

Interesting.

jarland · June 2012

Gonna say no on that one ;)

djvdorp · June 2012

Would try for sure

maxexcloo · June 2012

Sure :)

I'm in, tried to play around with lxc before. Now i have a folder with old /proc and /dev stuff lying around that i can't delete.

I think lxc would be very interesting since it doesn't need a patched kernel.

So, i'd take one :)

will this replace OVZ in the future?

@BlueVM count me in!

I had a quick look at it, and it seems comparable to OpenVZ/vServer. Are there any advantages to using LXC over OpenVZ?

Fliphost · June 2012

@ElliotJ I heard it was more isolated

Alex_LiquidHost · June 2012

I'd also like to try one out for sure.

Yes I would like to try one. I looked at LXC a couple years ago, but it wasn't ready for prime time.

I do not know any about it, but I would like to have a try.

yes and no. yes if many developer start to develop it and make it compatible/available in all well-known vps control panel.

no, as the above statement, it's pretty hard to replace OVZ. perhaps next 5 years? :P

Might take a little more than a control panel...

LXC won't catch on (at least in the hosting biz) until they fix all the security issues.

Ah, so all the others are free of security holes... M

OpenVZ is immune to chroot escape methods, LXC is prone to pretty much all of them.
