Host configuration
Install a Linux-VServer kernel
Installing a prepatched kernel is as easy as:
# emerge vserver-sources
However, the main portage tree only contains stable kernels (at the time of writing this is 2.0.x). If you want to install 2.1.1 or above, please take a look at the Gentoo VPS Project Overlay and Howto install 3rd party ebuilds.
After the vserver-sources are installed it's time to configure them using make menuconfig. Below is a common configuration for 2.1.1 and above. If you are using 2.0.x some configuration options may not be present.
# cd /usr/src/linux-<KERNELVERSION>-vserver-<VSERVERVERSION>
# make menuconfig
Linux VServer --->
[ ] Enable Legacy Kernel API
[ ] Enable Legacy Networking Kernel API
[ ] Remap Source IP Address
[*] Enable COW Immutable Link Breaking
[*] Enable Virtualized Guest Time
[*] Enable Proc Security
[*] Enable Hard CPU Limits
[*] Avoid idle CPUs by skipping Time
[*] Limit the IDLE task
Persistent Inode Tagging (UID24/GID24) --->
[ ] Tag NFSD User Auth and Files
[ ] Enable Inode Tag Propagation
[*] Honor Privacy Aspects of Guests
[ ] VServer Debugging Code
Note: If you are using reiserfs as filesystem on the partition where guest images are stored, you will need to enable extended attributes for reiserfs in your kernel config and additionally add the attrs option in /etc/fstab.
File systems ---> <*> Reiserfs support [*] ReiserFS extended attributes
/dev/hdb1 /vservers reiserfs noatime,attrs 0 0
After you've built and installed the kernel, update your boot loader and finally reboot to see if the kernel boots correctly.
(Building the kernel) # make (Installing) # make modules_install # cp arch/<arch>/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-<KERNELVERSION>-vserver-<VSERVERVERSION> (Edit bootloader config file as required and) # reboot
Setup host environment
To maintain your virtual servers you need the util-vserver package which contains all necessary programs and many useful features.
# emerge util-vserver
You have to run the vprocunhide command after every reboot in order to setup /proc permissions correctly for vserver use. An init script has been installed by util-vserver. To use it you should add it to a runlevel:
# rc-update add vservers default # /etc/init.d/vservers start
The vshelper script is used to restart virtual servers correctly. You have to tell the kernel where the vshelper script is located:
# echo 'kernel.vshelper = /usr/lib/util-vserver/vshelper' >> /etc/sysctl.conf # sysctl -p
Guest configuration
[OUTDATED!!! - images on Gentoo mirrors are buggy - 2006 year. Emerge fails.] You have to download a vserver prepared stage3 from one of the Gentoo mirrors. Those stages are located under the experimental/<arch>/vserver/ directory. Since a stage3 contains a complete root filesystem you can use the template build method of util-vserver. However, this method is only available since util-vserver-0.30.211, so make sure you have the right version installed.
You have to choose a context ID for your vserver (dynamic context IDs are discouraged) as well as the necessary network device information (In this example eth0 is configured with 192.168.1.253/24 and the context ID is equivalent to the last two parts of the virtual servers IP).
# vserver myguest build \
--context 1253 \
--hostname myguest \
--interface eth0:192.168.1.253/24 \
--initstyle plain \
-m template -- \
-t /path/to/stage3-<arch>-<version>.tar.bz2 \
-d gentoo
You should be able to start and enter the vserver by using the commands below. If you miss commands like mount or dmesg you should emerge util-linux inside your virtual server as the vserver profile doesn't ship this package by default.
# vserver myguest start
# vserver-stat
