lxc containers fail to autoboot in 14.04 trusty using 'lxc.start.auto = 1'
- by user273046
In trusty 14.04 containers fail to autoboot despite all settings being set as 14.04 requires.
They show all as STOPPED
I have correctly configured 2 LXC containers:
calypso
encelado
They run perfectly if I run
sudo lxc-autostart
then
sudo lxc-ls --fancy
results in:
ubuntu@saturn:/etc/init$ sudo lxc-ls --fancy
NAME STATE IPV4 IPV6 AUTOSTART
calypso RUNNING 192.168.1.161 - YES
encelado RUNNING 192.168.1.162 - YES
The problem is trying to run them at boot.
I have at: /var/lib/lxc/calypso/config:
# Template used to create this container: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-download
# Parameters passed to the template:
# For additional config options, please look at lxc.conf(5)
# Distribution configuration
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/ubuntu.common.conf
lxc.arch = x86_64
# Container specific configuration
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/calypso/rootfs
lxc.utsname = calypso
# Network configuration
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
#lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.network.link = br0
lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:64:0b:6e
# Assegnazione IP Address
lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.1.161/24
lxc.network.ipv4.gateway = 192.168.1.1
# Autostart
lxc.start.auto = 1
lxc.start.delay = 5
lxc.start.order = 100
and I have
LXC_AUTO="false"
as required
inside /etc/default/lxc:
LXC_AUTO="false"
USE_LXC_BRIDGE="false" # overridden in lxc-net
[ -f /etc/default/lxc-net ] && . /etc/default/lxc-net
LXC_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=120
Any idea on why the containers don't start at boot?
At reboot they are always in the STOPPED state:
ubuntu@saturn:~$ sudo lxc-ls --fancy
NAME STATE IPV4 IPV6 AUTOSTART
calypso STOPPED - - YES
encelado STOPPED - - YES
and then again they can be started manually, using sudo lxc-autostart
