    [OpenVZ] RHEL5 Kernel Branch End of Life

    I doubt anyone here is crazy enough to be screwing around with UBC knobs and parameters ... but if you have an intimate relationship with "Burst RAM", OpenVZ is about to break up with you. https://lists.openvz.org/pipermail/announce/2014-July/000521.html Though it's pretty painless to make...

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    Just a little FYI, it seems if you go to convert a container where second-level quotas are established, the /etc/mtab symbolic link to /proc/mounts gets broken and isn't correctly re-established, so whenever the container is rebooted, the container will show the former simfs layout unless you...

    Honeypots

    I've got a handful of leftover IP4's in my current Q.A. box. Not wanting them to go to waste, I kicked around the idea of spooling up a couple of containers and turning them into honeypots, and yesterday evening I configured Kippo. I liked the idea, you know, making them look like mail servers...

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    Yeh, perhaps you're right, but I'd still prefer to contribute something worthwhile over fluff or copy/paste like you said.  Plus I just started posting here yesterday, and even though I see a lot of familiar faces, first impressions are important, and I'd hate for people to think that I have a...

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    Wow. That's so ... 2008.  Containerization is far more sophisticated now, making the usual tired opinions that much harder to stomach. Especially when you consider that Google is almost completely containerized now (maybe 100% by now), and I believe that some of Facebook's infrastructure is as...

    OpenVZ Tester (X2go Install Script)

    I'm actually coming to you live from a containerized desktop (Xvnc) environment at this very moment, Ubu 14.04 w/ MATE, 1920x1080 res, even added some goodies along the way, FF, Skype, TBird, Filezilla, Nmap, GIMP, just to see what I could get away with. I'll admit I have concerns about security...

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    I was not aware of the Latin meaning -- nor was I aware that it's safe to swear here without being reprimanded. Also - a thousand pardons where I left out a couple things ... like, ya know, words... :D  Getting by on cat naps this week. What I was going to say was that I've noticed myself...

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    I'm absolutely backing off from Ploop as I was telling another provider not long ago.  Originally had positive results testing Ploop in dev/qa. Then I got my horror story... http://www.johnedel.me/ext4-file-system-corruption-openvz-ploop/ Sorry for the lousy markup, I just recently migrated a...

    Introduction thread

    Hiya!  I'm John from Portland, OR -- I've been running Jetfire Networks L.L.C. since early 2012 (formerly Northwest Technology Group Inc., 2008-2012 from when I was local only).  Some of you have known me for a long time at WHT (@jetfirenetworks) Strong supporter of containerization - I've...

    OpenVZ Tester (X2go Install Script)

    I can toss a couple of containers your way...  I've got a few free slots on my QA node that aren't doing much right now.  ________________________ John Edel Jetfire Networks, L.L.C.
