<div dir="ltr">Hi guys,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I already created and setup a container using ploop I'd
like to use a base image for all "real" containers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I though using ploop this should be quite simple: just
create a snapshot of this base image for every new container.
But I just cannot see how I can do this?</div>

<div>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</div>

ploop is architectured in a way so images are not shared between
containers.<br>
More to say, base image is specifically checked to be unique (i.e.
not used for<br>
any other ploop device) because it is used to uniquely identify
which container<br>
it belongs to. I think this is the problem you have seen.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, you can use hardlinks to a "master" base image to
create<br>
multiple containers having the same base image. Note symlinks won't
work,<br>
you need hardlinks.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
Kir.<br>
