TCL and LXC
« on: January 23, 2016, 02:19:03 PM »
As there isn't any extension for LXC and not knowing wether the kernel fits
i'd like to know if anyone has run these in TCL or would be able to bring this up?
  In that case, could share? At least the lesson/experience :-)
There is already a project called boot2docker based on TCL but that's Docker, which
means many other things (packages, default configs...another philosophy altogether).
What i look for is similar to flockbox/flockport project (based on alpine linux) but
much lighter/leaner so... that has to be TCL with its own templates, repository...
They (flockport) repeatdly say their solution is way smaller then based on debian.
True, both projects are smaller than the huge distros and they do work, live, out
of the box, nonethless... TCL can go even farther, can't it?
thank you all .

wrt tcl + lxc

+
LXD container image for TCL @ https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,24369.0.html

apparently "LXD is the new LXC experience." according to https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/comparing-lxd-vs-lxc/24

as this question wet unanswered and i happen to be looking into this
 ill borrow this topic

open wrt has a guide to "installing" wrt as lxc
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/virtualization/lxc#via_rootfs_extraction

which has demystified a little the methods used to create lxc

rootfs is copy into .local/share/lxc/<vm-name>/rootfs
modules are shared with host

so it would appear using tc with lxc (or lxd??) is not *officially*  supported ?!

... because it would require "scatter / hybrid" install

meaning installing packages in the container would brake many of tce extension  assumptions and not work.. ( with out modification to tce install script or extension install script)

+ https://superuser.com/questions/1192947/tinycore-non-frugal-install-of-tinycore-linux

which *afaik appears to be the antithesis of the core frugal install deign
as mentioned in "Core Concepts" & illustrated in diagram of the Tiny Core file architecture @ http://tinycorelinux.net/architecture.html

... though i might be wrong ?? ... if so plz add corrections / perspectives..

@* any thoughts? ..
