Linux Containers - LXC

17 juin 2022

Introduction¶

The LXC team is pleased to announce the release of LXC 5.0.0!

This is the result of two years of work since the LXC 4.0.0 release and is the fifth LTS release for the LXC project. This release will be supported until June 2027.

Major changes¶

Switch to meson¶

With this release of LXC, autotools is being replaced by meson as the build tooling. Compatibility Makefile targets are provided for all, install and dist.

This is a change which is particularly relevant for packagers as it otherwise has no user visible impact.

New cgroup configuration options¶

Four new options were added:

lxc.cgroup.dir.container
lxc.cgroup.dir.monitor
lxc.cgroup.dir.monitor.pivot
lxc.cgroup.dir.container.inner

Those allow controlling exactly what cgroup paths will be used for the container itself, for the monitor process, for the moitor process upon container termination as well as allow the container cgroup to be placed inside of a nested (inner) cgroup.

Time namespace support¶

LXC now supports setting up the time namespace.
This is done through two new options:

lxc.time.offset.boot
lxc.time.offset.monotonic

Which will apply an offset (anywhere from a few nanoseconds to hours) on top of the main system clock.

VLAN support on VETH devices¶

Two new config options were added to the VETH network devices to control VLAN tagging.

veth.vlan.id
veth.vlan.tagged.id

The former sets the primary (untagged) VLAN while the latter is used to set additional tagged VLANs on the device. This requires the use of VLAN filtering on the parent bridge device.

Configurable transmit/receive queues on VETH devices¶

Still on VETH devices. It's now possible to customize the number of receive and transmit queues through two new configuration options:

veth.n_rxqueues
veth.n_txqueues
