This document is to track the status of OpenVZ integration into Ubuntu 8.04 «Hardy Heron».

Kernel

2.6.24 kernel is ready for initial inclusion to Hardy. Below are some resources.

Ubuntu Hardy kernel git:

OpenVZ 2.6.24 kernel git (switch to 2.6.24-openvz branch):

Status: adobriyan@ is working on porting our patch set to hardy kernel.

Tools

vzctl

  • Need to fix requirements; vzctl now depends on linux-patch-openvz

sysctl

It probably makes sense to automate changing sysctl options on vzctl package installation (like vzctl from debian.systs.org does).

vzquota

Currently Ubuntu ships vzquota-3.0.9, make sense to refresh to vzquota-3.0.11. Should be trivial, since both Debian testing (Lenny) and unstable (Sid) already have it:

vzpkg

Don't have plans to ship vzpkg in Ubuntu

Documentation

  • Ubuntu-specific documentation on wiki.openvz.org (see)
  • OpenVZ landing page for ubuntu.com

Templates

The following templates are currently available (check http://openvz.org/download/template/cache/ for full list):

  • Ubuntu 7.10 for x86 and x86_64.

We need to create somewhat minimal Hardy template and [probably?] pack it into a package.

As Ubuntu comes with debootstrap, making Ubuntu templates is pretty easy. See Ubuntu Gutsy template creation.
