[Users] virtuozzo base OS and new centos 8 orientations

[Denis Silakov]

Hi,

EZ template was indeed created a year ago:) But initially it was targeted for testing purposes and was not subjected to deep testing at our side, so yes, one can consider it to be a "beta" quality. Though mostly it works fine, I don't remember any serious issues with template itself (however, one can still meet issues with some packages missing in VzLinux8 repos).

As for converting C8 ct to VzLinux8 one - there is no official way atm. In theory, if you have internet connection inside the CT, you can replace C8 repos with VzLinux one (e.g., just install vzlinux-release package) and run distrosync. And finally, change template in CT config. But this is just a guess, I have never tried this myself.

Hello,
I received today from virtuozzo the roadmap for VZ8 which is promising as a centos8 replacement :
https://www.virtuozzo.com/connect/details/blog/view/do-you-have-an-alternative-to-centos-virtuozzo-has-you-covered-with-vzlinux.html
while testing a new vz8 CT , I realized that there is such a EZ template here:
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.15-628/x86_64/os/Packages/v/vzlinux-8-x86_64-ez-7.0.0-3.vz7.noarch.rpm
dating apparently from nearly 1 year now !?

is this unrelated to the annoucement which is only related to bareMetal/hypervisor vzlinux-8 ?

"VzLinux 8 OS template for OpenVZ and Virtuozzo Hybrid Server is available for evaluation in BETA quality and will be officially announced as supported later this month."

is this template  VZ8 EZ template a beta version ?, I can run it and report problems if needed ...

is their already a conversion tool for a centos8 CT to a VZ8  ?


thanks .


Jehan .

Hello,

Thank you, that's great.  I just thought I'd let you know I'm still not seeing any PHP packages in the repos for VzLinux 8 as of this morning, just in case something still needs to be done for these to show up.  If it's just a case of needing to wait a bit longer then I'll try again tomorrow.
