    Install of LXC
    What additional changes might be required, if any?

    • cgroups user delegation
    • subuid and subgid files
    fmt:/etc# ls -l *id
    -rw-r--r--    1 root     root            18 Dec 30 06:06 subgid
    -rw-r--r--    1 root     root            18 Dec 30 06:06 subuid
    fmt:/etc# cat *id
    root:100000:65536
    root:100000:65536
    fmt:/etc# 
    
    • network bridge and lxc-usernet file

    Friendly greetings! :)

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    root:100000:65536
    root:100000:65536
    fmt:/etc# 
    

    This allows root to create unprivileged LXC containers, but not anybody else.
    subuid and subgid files need to have one entry per user, on non-overlapping ranges.
    Once assigned, the range cannot change, otherwise the user's containers cannot start again.
    I'd suggest deriving user ranges from their uids.

    getent passwd | awk -vFS=: -vOFS=: '
      $3>=1000 && $3<10000 {
        print $1, $3*1000000, 65536
      }
    '

    Hi @g121!

    Best wishes for a Happy New Year!

    Since you are new here at LES we can say that your being new helps us celebrate the new in the New Year. :)

    Do you want to share a little about who and where you are and what you want to do on the server?

    Thanks!

    Tom

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    @yoursunny Thanks for yet another of your helpful and interesting comments!

    @yoursunny said: This allows root to create unprivileged LXC containers, but not anybody else.

    Do you see any issue with allowing non-root users to create their own containers? I was thinking of trying to set up LXC so that the containers each had their own IPv4 and IPv6/64.

    @yoursunny said: I'd suggest deriving user ranges from their uids.

    I haven't tried this yet, but it seems like a wonderful way to use getent and awk to derive user ranges! I would enjoy more context. For example, I took a quick look at the server's getent(1) man page. :) But that man page provided little historical context.

    May I please ask where did you get this idea? Do you have a link to an LXC setup tutorial that discusses this method? I did a quick Google search and didn't find this idea for configuring user ranges.

    Thanks again and a very happy new year! :)

    A container created by a non-root user would not have more privileges than that user.

    Address assignment is the next step: network bridge and lxc-usernet file.

    You can safely run this command line to see its effect.
    It only prints the subuid map, but does not modify any files.

    These come from subuid manpage.
    In my own server I only have one entry lxc:100000:65536 that allows a user named lxc to create containers.

    Happy New Year

    Happy New Year everyone! I hope you continue to enjoy our time on this server!

    I especially thank those who have thanked me for and posted replies to my server setup reports. Some of these have drawn so few thanks and so few comments that I considered no longer posting setup updates and transcripts.

    For example, here's a recent update that did not previously get posted:

    Man pages update

    I was wondering why I couldn't seem to see many man pages on the server. Looking around on Google, I found that, in Alpine, man pages frequently are an additional package with the name $package-doc. I found a neat trick at https://georgegarside.com/blog/technology/alpine-linux-install-all-man-pages/:

    apk list -I | sed -rn '/-doc/! s/([a-z-]+[a-z]).*/\1/p' | xargs -tI§ apk add §-doc

    This trick seemed to work to install a lot of the man pages which were not installed because I didn't add $package-doc to apk add $package.

    I won't post the lengthy output of this command, but I have it if anybody wants to see it. :)

    If you find a man page that still seems missing, please let me know, and I will try to add it. Thanks!

    Are people interested in continuing setup update posts?

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    Why not LXD? It's a lot more usable than plain LXC.

  • @drunekndog said:

    Why not LXC?
    It's a lot more efficient than fancy LXD.

    An important technical limitation of LXD is the lack of isolation between host machine users authorized to create containers.

    From LXD installation:

    Access control for LXD is based on group membership.
    The root user and all members of the lxd group can interact with the local daemon.

    Anyone with access to the LXD socket can fully control LXD, which includes the ability to attach host devices and file systems.

    In contrast, LXC doesn't have a local daemon.
    Each user can launch their own unprivileged containers, without being able to access other users' containers.

    Hi! LXD probably is okay. Certainly I have nothing against LXD. I myself haven't got to LXD yet. As of course you know, LXD is built on top of LXC. I imagined it might be a good idea to learn a little about how the LXC foundation worked before moving on to LCD.

    Apologies @yoursunny! I am keeping the list locally. I haven't yet updated the subuid and subgid files on the server. I assumed I maybe could update the files on the server one time after the list seemed to be complete.

    Due to your constant and careful study of everything in all six directions, you caught my laziness.

    Guys, almost the last chance for this batch of LXC chicken. The next batch might be awhile. . . . Anybody else wanna jump on the LXC train?
