Ocata Series Release Notes

15.1.21-9

New Features

  • The variable lxc_net_manage_iptables has been added. This variable can be overridden by deployers if system wide iptables rules are already in place or managed by deployers chioce.

Bug Fixes

  • Newer releases of CentOS ship a version of libnss that depends on the existance of /dev/random and /dev/urandom in the operating system in order to run. This causes a problem during the cache preparation process which runs inside chroot that does not contain this, resulting in errors with the following message:

    error: Failed to initialize NSS library

    This has been resolved by introducing a /dev/random and /dev/urandom inside the chroot-ed environment.

15.1.8

Bug Fixes

  • In Ubuntu the dnsmasq package actually includes init scripts and service configuration which conflict with LXC and are best not included. The actual dependent package is dnsmasq-base. The package list has been adjusted and a task added to remove the dnsmasq package and purge the related configuration files from all LXC hosts.

15.1.1

New Features

  • The COPR repository for installing LXC on CentOS 7 is now set to a higher priority than the default to ensure that LXC packages always come from the COPR repository.

15.0.0

New Features

  • LXC on CentOS is now installed via package from a COPR repository rather than installed from the upstream source.

  • IPv6 support has been added for the LXC bridge network. This can be configured using lxc_net6_address, lxc_net6_netmask, and lxc_net6_nat.

  • The variable lxc_cache_environment has been added. This dictionary can be overridden by deployers to set HTTP proxy environment variables that will be applied to all lxc container download tasks.
