allocate a console to be proxied · 63376d7dDaniel Lezcano authored
The actual behaviour of the console is messy as: * it relies on a heuristic (tty or not, rootfs or not, etc ...) * the container init stole the tty and we lose the control The following patch: * allocates a tty * maps this tty to the container console * proxy the io from the console to the file specified in the configuration lxc.console=<file> That allows to specify a file, a fifo, a $(tty), and can be extended with an uri like file://mypath, net://1.2.3.4:1234, etc ... That solves the problem with the heuristic and the container does no longer stole our current tty. Note by default, the console output will go to a blackhole if no configuration is specified making the container showing nothing. In order to access the console from the tty, use lxc-start -n foo -s lxc.console=$(tty) I propose the make the container to daemonize by default now. I tried the following: in a shell: touch /var/lib/lxc/foo/console tail --retry -f /var/lib/lxc/foo/console in another shell: lxc-start -n foo -s lxc.console=/var/lib/lxc/foo/console Signed-off-by:
