Gentoo LXD Container

+

There are Gentoo images at linuxcontainers.org

+
lxc image list images: | grep gentoo
+lxc init images:34760012759f
+# or
+lxc init images:34760012759f <pick a name>
+
+ +

Networking

+

The default image will request dhcp service on eth0. If you need a second static +connection on eth1, do the following. Describe eth1 in /etc/conf.d/net

+
# /etc/conf.d/net
+config_eth1="10.44.84.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 10.44.84.255"
+routes_eth1="default via 10.44.84.1"
+
+ +

Then in /etc/init.d/

+
ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth1
+
+ +

Enable net.eth1 in init.

+
rc-update add net.eth1 default
+
+ +

And then start networking on eth1

+
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
+
+ +

Locale and Timezone

+

You're supposed to write your timezone in /etc/timezone, echo "Europe/Brussels" > /etc/timezone, +and then run the command emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data. But this doesn't work.

+

You can set the locale by uncommenting your locale in /etc/locale-gen, and then +running the following commands.

+
locale-gen
+eselect locale list
+eselect locale set <number>
+. /etc/profile
+
+ +

And the following corrected the timezone.

+
unlink /etc/localtime
+ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime
+
