Creating a new vagrant machine with a box created with an old LXC config
format would fail with LXC 3.0. We now update the LXC config of the box
itself before calling `lxc-create`.
LXC 3.0, unlike 2.1, doesn't support old configuration formats at all
and because our previous approach to handling old format was incomplete,
running `vagrant up` on a system with LXC 3.0 would fail, even if the
base box itself was made with modernized config.
This commit fixes this problem: is the box has a modern config, it's
going to be properly created and booted under LXC 3.0. It does so
without breaking the support for LXC < 2.1
Since redir 2.x upstream is not evolving it, Joachim Nilsson adopted it
and have started to work on it and publish a new command line interface
(check out https://github.com/troglobit/redir). The redir 3.1 is already
available in Debian and Ubuntu in their stable releases.
To fix#406, I reverted the tmpfs mount we add at boot time. As we can
see in #455, it was a bad idea.
In addition to bringing back that mount, I've also added a
`tmpfs_mount_size` config that allows to change the size of the mount
from its default `2G`. It's also possible to disable the mount
altogether.
fixes#455
fixes#406 because the `tmpfs` mount isn't needed anymore.
Careful considerations had to be taken because #68 mentions host-side
data loss when cleaning up `/tmp`. We mitigate this by ensuring that all
mounts under `/tmp` are unmounted before we proceed with our `rm -rf`
operation.
More context about this issue can be found in #360.
When running with LXC 2.1+, ensure that our boxes have up-to-date config
keys by running the `lxc-update-config` utility that ships with LXC
2.1+.
When the command doesn't exist (LXC <2.1), we do nothing.
ref #445
`lxc-info -iH` to retrieve IP address was not available in early LXC
development but was there at LXC 1.0. Because we've bumped our minimum
LXC requirement to v1.0 recently, we can simplify the IP retrieval
process and also get rid of the `dnsmasq` fallback.
The regex check for the container MAC address presence in the
dnsmasq leases file is case sensitive. Dnsmasq outputs uppercase
addresses in the leases file.
As MAC addresses are generally considered case insensitive, it
makes sense to relax the regular expression check to allow for this.
Previously, the utsname of a machine was set to the vagrant machine ID.
As the utsname represents the hostname of the machine and is independent
from the name of the actual LXC container, the hostname that was
specified in the Vagrantfile should be used instead. If no hostname is
provided, the machine ID will be used like before.
Additionally, this will trigger the DHCP client in the container to send
the correct hostname to the DHCP server on the first request at boot.
Vagrant sets the configured hostname only after the network is up. If
for example automatic DNS updates are configured, the right DNS record
will be created every time.
