(I cannot publish my email in bugzilla)

Ubuntu 10.04 templates (2010-07-10) lack of bodhi.zazen's patch for upstart. It's a simple text file saved as /vz/private/777/etc/init/openvz.conf and with the following content. Without this, on container upgrade networking is lost:

# OpenVZ - Fix init sequence to have OpenVZ working with upstart

description "Fix OpenVZ"

start on startup

task
pre-start script
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
mount -t tmpfs varrun /var/run
mount -t tmpfs varlock /var/lock
mkdir -p /var/run/network
if [ ! -e /etc/mtab ]; then
cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
fi
touch /var/run/utmp
chmod 664 /var/run/utmp
chown root.utmp /var/run/utmp
if [ "$(find /etc/network/ -name upstart -type f)" ]; then
chmod -x /etc/network/*/upstart || true
fi
end script

script
start networking
initctl emit filesystem --no-wait
initctl emit local-filesystems --no-wait
initctl emit virtual-filesystems --no-wait
init 2
end script

Also is necessary to put upstart, mountall and ifupdown on hold:

echo "mountall hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "upstart hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "ifupdown hold" | dpkg --set-selections

There is a new version of Gentoo OS template for OpenVZ that made by Thomas Urban, Please check it.

Gentoo 10.1 amd64, ~201 MiB, created on 2010-04-11. http://blog.toxa.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/gentoo.tar.gz

I have built an i386 Debian Lenny template for download, and has been verified working at this time. http://www.fuzzyconcepts.net/openvz/debian-5.0-i386-fc1.tar.gz --Echelon 20:26 23 Dec 2008 (EST)

It's no longer available --Kir 09:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you download ALTLinux 5.1 templates? I have built it for i586 and x86_64 architectures and have tested at real tasks:
- ftp://oscada.org/ALTLinux/5.1/OVZ/altlinux-5.1-i586.tar.gz
- ftp://oscada.org/ALTLinux/5.1/OVZ/altlinux-5.1-x86_64.tar.gz

Done --Kir 13:40, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I've created a Scientific Linux 6.0 x86_64 minimal image using mock, by going through installed packages by hand to eliminate as many as I thought safe, and otherwise by following similar instructions as Vic here: http://www.montanalinux.org/openvz-contrib-ostemp-scientificlinux6-x86.html (including the installation of vzdummy package and modification of scripts under /etc/init so upstart is happy without a console). It seems to be working fine for me using an /etc/vz/dists/sl6.conf file which is exactly similar to the centos.conf file. This template is available for download here:
- http://www.balukoff.com/~stephen/sl6-minimal-x86_64.tar.gz

Some old notes (no more relevant)

Just added a note to the article that the Debian images are still insecure. It would be better to replace the images with corrected ones, but I have no idea who to contact. --Bluehorn 09:42, 5 July 2008 (EDT)

The Centos 5 minimal x86-64 image appears to be lacking in many ways. Most importantly it doesn't set up /dev properly. I'm going to test out the Centos 5 not-so minimal image. --cbsmith 17:53 22 Sept 2008 (PDT)

Gentoo templates

Gentoo template from the 2008th year is very old and comes in a non-functional after the upgrade.

I made a script for automatic assembly of the template (use the description http://wiki.openvz.org/Gentoo_template_creation ).

Templates and script are available at:
