Setting up network access to and from your vserver guests.
Introduction
Lets imagine, you have only one external IP -- $EXTIP.
You want to have several vservers running without worrying about port overlapping.
Example:
Two vservers run a default webserver, running on port 80. If each "guest" vserver shares an IP with the host, then the two webservers will confict.
One solution is:
- All vservers are contained in a "virtual lan", say 192.168.1.x
- Each vserver has its own IP
- Control port forwarding on "parent" host. That is, run a router.
Configuration
Host
Set up dummy0 interface on the parent host
# /etc/network/interfaces on a Debian box,
# configure on other distros with your preferred way
auto dummy0
iface dummy0 inet static
address 192.168.1.250
netmask 255.255.255.0
Guests
Set up each guest vserver:
cd /etc/vservers/$VSERVER/interfaces/0 echo dummy0 > dev echo 192.168.1.1 > ip echo 1 > name echo 24 > prefix
I suggest you use value of name equal to last digit of the IP -- for easy separation.
Host as router
3. Now, configure the host to act as a router.
3a: For internal packets going outside, pretend each packet came from our external IP:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d ! 192.168.1.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source $EXTIP
3b: For each service that runs on a vserver, map it to an external port. Vserver local address $VHOST and port $INTPORT you select one external port $EXTPORT and run the following:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 192.168.1.0/24 -m tcp -p tcp --dport $EXTPORT -j DNAT --to-destination $VHOST:$INTPORT
That's all!
Verifying
Try ping pool.ntp.org from your vserver -- it should ping fine.
Try to connect to your $EXTIP:$EXTPORT (from another external host) -- you will successfully connect to service running on a guest vserver.
