LXC (Linux Containers) is an operating system–level virtualization method for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a single control host.
Official project website: https://linuxcontainers.org
Getting started
Installation
$ sudo dnf install lxc lxc-templates lxc-extra debootstrap libvirt debootstrap perl
The 'debootstrap' is necessary in order to build Debian-based containers.
The libvirt will provide basic networking management, such us bridge, NAT and DHCP.
After the installation, start the libvirt daemon:
# systemctl start libvirtd
Change default bridge
Edit the file /etc/lxc/default.conf and change the parameter 'lxc.network.link' from 'lxcbr0' to 'virbr0':
lxc.network.type = veth lxc.network.link = virbr0 lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx
SELinux
SELinux currently prevents lxc to start containers, the issue has been reported at #1227071
A possible workaround is to set SELinux to permissive mode.
Create a container
# lxc-create -n container1 -t ubuntu -- -r xenial # lxc-start -n container1 # lxc-attach -n container1
