OpenVZ 7 / Virtuozzo 7 Minimal templates

InceptionHosting · November 2019

I made a complete set a few days ago, thought I would share them as I don't see them anywhere else.
These are fully functional and VERY minimal templates for OpenVZ 7/ Virtuozzo 7, all tested.
They range from 5mb to 9mb ram used on initial deployment:
http://185.164.137.206/vz7/
For SolusVM you will need to be on at least the latest mainline release (probably better off on beta - upcp 3) which enables the EZ templates option when adding an OpenVZ templates in solusvm
I have spend a fair bit of time working with the EZ template system now, its very different to OpenVZ 6 or "legacy templates" as they are now known so if anyone needs any help just shout up, not enough info public at this stage.

If your host does not have them available yet point them here

how did you add debian10 template? I though it needed real 4.x kernel.

just for you

Virtuozzo 7 does not bind the kernel version of the host to the container like OpenVZ 6 did.
I mean it is just a psudo kernel version anyway it just tracks the distro current version and displays it in the container you still use the host nodes kernel but now at least software does not complain about expecting a different version.

tried debian 10 image, firewalls (nftable/ufw/iptables trans) failed to start with error for bunch of nft related kernel modules and unknown option "--dport"

From the host node: vzctl set CTID --netfilter=full --save
I only made the templates the templates cant enable or give access to kernel modules on the host node for you

well it was your NL OVZ7 node, so... write a ticket?

I found the root cause.
you need to change firefall framework to iptables in debian 10 image, because debian 10 changed to nftable and need different kernal modules. witch you and most provider doesn't enabled.
https://wiki.debian.org/nftables >

# update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy
# update-alternatives --set ip6tables /usr/sbin/ip6tables-legacy
# update-alternatives --set arptables /usr/sbin/arptables-legacy
# update-alternatives --set ebtables /usr/sbin/ebtables-legacy

Cool good fix, I will look in to it now I know for the host nodes and add that to the KB I linked, much appreciated!

edit: enabled on all my nodes now.

sorry, but it nftables still looks broken. it ask for nf_nat_ftp,nf_conntrack_ftp and nf_conntrack_netbios_ns
maybe it's just best to edit image to use legacy iptables.>

Update : enableing nftable related kernel modules touched upsteam bug, and tring to using it will cause kernel panic and make host(not single container) to reboot. Looks like use legacy iptable is best for now

Just want to thank you Ant, you probably recall me and you having a silly set-to on the old forum as my Debian 9 instance was running out of RAM for apt commands. I switched to your new Ubuntu 18.04 template and used the PPA to get wireguard-tools, which seems to use less resources than pinning the unstable repo on Debian to get that package and its dependencies.

(If anyone is interested, I'm following this guide to get wireguard-go working on my LES box:

https://d.sb/2019/07/wireguard-on-openvz-lxc

Obviously, switching out the section about pinning the Debian unstable repo and using the Wireguard PPA instead, still issuing "apt-get install wireguard-tools --no-install-recommends". The rest of the guide works really well (I compile wireguard-go on my local machine and push it onto my instance) and with wireguard-go and an OpenVPN server setup, as well as fail2ban, I'm still only using about 39M RAM on idle and all apt commands seem to be working without any issues.)
