In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install LXC on Debian Latest. LXC stands for Linux Containers, a lightweight, flexible, and efficient virtualization solution that provides an isolated environment for running applications.
First, we need to update our system packages to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
The LXC package is available in the Debian repository, so we can easily install it using the apt package manager. To install LXC, run the following command:
sudo apt install lxc -y
After the installation process is complete, we can verify that LXC is installed correctly by running the following command:
lxc-checkconfig
This command will display a list of configuration options supported by LXC, and if everything is correct, you should see a message saying "All checks pass."
Now that LXC is installed, we can create a new container. For this tutorial, we will create a CentOS 7 container. To create the container, run the following command:
sudo lxc-create -t centos -n mycontainer
This command will download the CentOS 7 template and create a new container named mycontainer.
After the container is created, we can start it by running the following command:
sudo lxc-start -n mycontainer
This command will start the container and give you access to its shell.
When you are done working with the container, you can stop it by running the following command:
sudo lxc-stop -n mycontainer
Now you know how to install LXC on Debian Latest and create a new container. You can use LXC for various purposes such as software testing, application isolation, and more.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
