How to create a LXC VyOS root filesystem for VNX
Basic installation
[VyOS] is an open source network operating system that is based on Debian GNU/Linux and that joins multiple applications such as Quagga, ISC DHCPD, OpenVPN, StrongS/WAN and others under a single management interface. It can be installed on physical hardware or on virtual machines and it is a community fork of [Vyatta].
Follow this procedure as a root user to create a VyOS based LXC root filesystem for VNX. The procedure has been tested with VyOS 1.1.7.
- Get VyOS installation CD and mount it to make its content accesible:
wget http://packages.vyos.net/iso/release/1.1.7/vyos-1.1.7-amd64.iso mount -o loop vyos-1.1.7-amd64.iso /mnt/
lxc-create -n vyos -t debian -- -r wheezy
cd /var/lib/lxc/vyos rm -rf /var/lib/lxc/vyos/rootfs/ unsquashfs /mnt/live/filesystem.squashfs mv squashfs-root/ rootfs umount /mnt
