Title: Install packages without loop device ? (docker)
Post by: tcolar on August 07, 2014, 12:42:30 PM

I'm trying to use TC within a docker container as a nice lean base OS.

Problem is that I cannot install any packagaes (tce-load) because docker does not allow mounting loopback devices, is there any sort of workaround ?

Thank you.

Docker is based on LXC.
You would be better off using KVM or virtualbox where you have a full virtual machine, and not just a container.

You would have to manually extract with unsquashfs in that environment, cluttering the disk.
