Linux-vserver on Fedora 8 (F8)

Installation of the vserver packages is simple in F8:

yum install util-vserver util-vserver-build

However, for anything to actually work you need to build a custom kernel. Once the custom kernel is installed you also need to update the distributions to include F8:

  1. cd /usr/lib64/util-vserver/distributions/
  2. svn export http://svn.linux-vserver.org/svn/util-vserver/trunk/distrib/f8 f8

Once the distribution is installed you can build the new vserver using the vserver build command, e.g.:

vserver myvserver build -m yum --interface eth0 --interface lo -- -d f8

Where myvserver is the name of your new vserver. Once the build completes you can start your vserver with "vserver myvserver start".

To install additional software packages use vyum:

vyum myvserver -- install packagename

where packagename is the name of the package to install.
