Proxmox LXC in chroot filesystem

Specifying a zero size for filesystem lets LXC backend use the "subvol" directories rather than disk images. The latter were problematic for "pxvirt" 9.0.10-2 on Raspberry/trixie with ZFS (there raw ext4 images are okay for direct fsck/mount, until PVE mounts them and the system locks up with timed-out processes).

GUI may forbid specifying 0 as disk size, CLI to the rescue then.

Thanks to https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-4-lxc-chroot-instead-of-raw-images.22881/ for CLI examples:

pct create 110 /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ubuntu-14.04-standard_14.04-1_amd64.tar.gz -hostname servername -password 'p@ssw0rd' -rootfs local:0

Comparing two setups:

Parsing Jenkins build history for broken XML files with xmllint
# 1) Jenkins uses XML 1.1 standard that did not pick up in the industry after 20 years.
# So browsers and xmllint claim they do not know of it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4508357
# Jenkins docs suggest replacing with "1.0" should suffice: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/upgrade-guide/2.107/
# 2) changelogNNNNNNNNNN.xml files are not XML but git commit info in fact
# 3) Some of those are plain empty and upset xmllint
# 4) xmllint insists on having an input file, so after rewrites we give it /dev/stdin.
# This path name may be a feature of bash and/or certain platforms.

QEMU-GA on OmniOS and OpenIndiana
  • Install the qemu package which contains a .../bin/qemu-ga(OOCE Extra repo in case of OmniOS) among the server implementation
:; pkg install qemu

# On OmniOS also:
:; ln -s ../../opt/ooce/bin/qemu-ga /usr/bin
  • Edit config file; note that the method and path depend on hypervisor-provided device (virtio-agent or ISA -- without a dedicated driver package, only the latter
