PVE LXC Containers
Note: I am just beginning to learn the ins & outs of LXC containers.
So far, LXC containers are just like regular Linux (for the most part...) & the same procedures apply when building.
Building a Container
Templates
LXC Containers start with a template.
For our example here, we're going to start with a basic Debian 11 template.
This means we need to ensure we have the template on the PVE host.
- Sign into the PVE UI & select your Local datastore
- Select the CT Templates storage
- Click the Templates button
- Select a template package (we're going with debian-11-standard) then hit the Download button
Creating the Container
Stumbling Blocks
Standard LXC containers built upon Debian seem to block non-root users from using ping...
ping: socket: Operation not permitted
Solution #3 seems most appropriate...
sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/ping
