I was hoping to try out LXC containers for the first time with some Turnkey appliances.
But I ran into an issue.
I can't create the bridged WordPress container, as described in the docs.
My system:
A fresh Ubuntu 16.04-64 install, with VirtualBox Version 5.0.20 r106931.
I grabbed the TurnKey LXC LinuX Containers virtual machine, v14.1, writable VMDK.
And I fired it up in VirtualBox. It seem to work fine.
The VM has internet connectivity. Ping, wget, and Debian updates all work fine.
Following the "Usage documentation" on GitHub, I tried to create a bridged WordPress container:
(I changed the name from "wp1" in the example, to "wp1_bridged", for the network connection type)
lxc-create -n wp1_bridged -f /etc/lxc/bridged.conf -t turnkey -- wordpress -i /root/inithooks.conf
That failed.
First, it failed because the current version of the LXC VM has no file, /root/inithooks.conf .
There's only /root/inithooks.conf.example .
So, I copied that to /root/inithooks.conf .
Then lxc-create got a little farther.
Now it fails with:
INFO [lxc-turnke]: downloading appliance image... /var/cache/lxc/turnkey/debian-8-turnkey-/etc/lxc/bridged.conf_14.0-1_amd64.tar.gz.tmp: No such file or directory FATAL [lxc-turnkey]: failed to download 'debian-8-turnkey-/etc/lxc/bridged.conf_14.0-1_amd64.tar.gz.tmp' FATAL [lxc-turnkey]: failed to install turnkey /etc/lxc/bridged.conf lxc_container: container creation template for wp1_bridged failed lxc_container: Error creating container wp1_bridged
So, what's a Turnkey LXC n00b to do?
That ".../debian-8-turnkey-/..." looks like a bogus path name to me.
But, what should it be? And where do I go to correct it?
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? (Does the Usage info need to be updated?)
Oh, it looks like this was identified in: https://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/support/20160626/turnkey-lxc-issue
But the pathnames I'm seeing are slightly different.
Looking forward to seeing a resolution or workaround.
It's a bug!
To workaround you need to explicitly set the version to the current (v14.1) release of TurnKey (it defaults to v14.0 which has been removed from the mirror). E.g. to launch a WordPress appliance called "wp1":
