{{DISPLAYTITLE: vzctl for upstream kernel}}
'''This article describes using OpenVZ tool vzctl as an alternative to LXC tools.'''
If you are living on the bleeding edge, get vzctl sources from git. Then run autogen.sh to recreate auto* files:
git clone <nowiki>githttps://gitsrc.openvz.org/pubscm/ovzl/vzctl.git</nowiki>
cd vzctl
./autogen.sh
# make install
vzctl is also bundled in some Linux distributions, so you can install vzctl using native distro tools (i.e. your package manager):
* vzctl in [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vzctl Ubuntu Linux] [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ Description]
* vzctl-core in [https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/vzctl-core Fedora Linux] [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_vzctl_base Description]
* sys-cluster/vzctl in [http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-cluster/vzctl Gentoo Linux]
* vzctl in [https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=vzctl Debian Linux]
== Known issues and workarounds ==
=== A container doesn't boot and udevd is in a process list ===
udev doesn't work, because <code>uevent</code>s are not virtualized yet. If you don't know how to disable it, you can remove the udev package.
=== <code>vzctl enter</code> doesn't work ===
You see this when trying to use <code>vzctl enter</code>:
Unable to open pty: No such file or directory
If a CT is executed in a user namespace, devpts must be mounted with the newinstance option. You can add this option in container's <code>/etc/fstab</code> file.
