[Users] How to identify the physical machine when you are inside the container?

[Thorsten Schifferdecker]

Hi,

you can use action scripts mount, see OpenVZ User Guide,
p. 89 (-> http://download.openvz.org/doc/OpenVZ-Users-Guide.pdf )
or man page vzctl (8)

on ct mount, a ct0 hostname info is writen inside the ct, like:


---8<... ...( file: /etc/vz/conf/vps.mount )...
#!/bin/bash

# global vps.mount script
# write hostname ct0 info from ct0 to ctX

# include the ct config
. $VE_CONFFILE

hostname > $VE_PRIVATE/_to/any/place/where/you/like/it_

exit 0
---8<...

Bye,
 Thorsten
