[Users] virtuozzo base OS and new centos 8 orientations

Thu Jan 7 20:05:18 MSK 2021

This can happen with packages provided as modules in RH since currently we don't use modules and prefer to simply build latest versions of such packages available in RH.

The particular issue with PHP has been already resolved, the packages should appear in repos tomorrow.

Hello,

Thank you for this, that's very re-assuring news regarding OpenVZ/Virtuozzo itself.  I'm carrying out some testing for possible container operating system replacements for CentOS 8, and as per your recommendation I'm giving VzLinux 8 a go.  However, one issue I seem to have encountered is a lack of any PHP packages in the virtuozzolinux-base repo for VzLinux 8.

I can of course obtain PHP packages in a variety of other ways from other sources, but before I go down that road I just wanted to check to make sure I'm not missing something obvious, and that it really is the case that VzLinux 8 ships with no PHP.  We use OpenVZ for selling customer containers that are largely used for Web hosting purposes, so being able to provide the full LAMP stack is pretty much essential.

Hi,

Yes, we already have VzLinux 8 template and going to proceed maintaining it as a RHEL recompilation. Official roadmap is likely will be announced in the near future, since it is indeed logical to suggest VzLinux as a CentOS replacement for CTs.

As for Suse - we had templates for opensuse 42.x but it seems that there was no much interest in them so currently there is no plans for new openSUSE. SLES templates should be in a good shape, but they indeed require a valid SLES license. https://docs.virtuozzo.com/virtuozzo_hybrid_server_7_users_guide/managing-virtual-machines-and-containers/creating-virtual-machines-and-containers.html describes how to setup sles 15 template.

2.1. Creating Virtual Machines and Containers¶. This section explains how to create new Virtuozzo virtual machines and containers using the prlctl create command. The options you should pass to this command differ depending on whether you want to create a virtual machine or container.

I did not had any reply from my question regarding CT template for a centos 8 replacement in 2021 as a  rpm based, up to date  distrib with LTS support
I realize that I missed 2 other distribs in my previous post, appart from  centos/debian/fedora/ubuntu pre-package templates
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.15-628/x86_64/os/Packages/s/
I can see in that URL Suse and SLES , I guess first one is openSuse and latter is SLes (with licenced needed ?)
but from that URL :
https://www.whatuptime.com/downloads/openvz-virtuozzo-7-templates/
there is no SLes nor (open)Suse here ... will these distrib continue to be available as vzlinux CT templates ?

I also realized from that latter URL that VzLinux7 itself is available as a CT template, if VzLinux continue to be a RHEL recompilation, then VzLinux8 (roadmap ?) would be a good alternative to centos 8 CT templates !?

Thanks .

thanks, that's a releaf , I thought you built virtuozzo from centos, so if it is built directory from RHEL source we are safe .

regarding CT templates, from download site: https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.15-628/x86_64/os/Packages/
we can find centos/debian/fedora/ubuntu pre-package templates.
will you  add an other rhel/rpm based distrib for templates ? which one would you recommend to replace a rpm based distrib with LTS support ?

regards .

That's right. We don't depend on CentOS releases in any sense. Until RH publishes source code to CentOS git or some other places, there are no obstacles in picking up and building that code for Vz.

From what I've heard, Red Hat will continue to make their source available in the same repos as before, so even if Centos ends, Virtuozzo can still build from the same RH source repos that Centos had been pulling from.

Hello

virtuozzo 7 OS is based on centos 7, I guessed  from :

https://www.virtuozzo.com/connect/details/blog/view/an-overview-of-virtuozzo-linux-7.html

=> Virtuozzo Linux 7 is based on the CentOS7 distribution and offers full compatibility with CentOS and the RedHat family.

Then what will be the base of virtuozzo 8 ? regarding that annoncement: https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/

the threaded comments are furious about that decision, would virtuozzo 8 rebuild fron RHEL source directly or base on another distrib ?

https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos/
Gregory Kurtzer: https://rockylinux.org/

openSUSE

etc ...
