Setup container

Container names

The main container should be named dev-gentoo-clang-minimal since it is kind of hardcoded in the admin scripts

Create

lxc launch images:gentoo/current/amd64 dev-gentoo-clang-minimal

Add networking

lxc config device add dev-gentoo-clang-minimal eth0 nic name=eth0 nictype=bridged parent=br0

Security priv

lxc config set dev-gentoo-clang-minimal security.privileged true

Gentoo portage setup

lxc config device add dev-gentoo-clang-minimal repos disk source=/var/db/repos path=/var/db/repos
lxc config device add dev-gentoo-clang-minimal distfiles disk source=/var/distfiles path=/var/distfiles
lxc config device add dev-gentoo-clang-minimal packages disk source=/var/packages path=/var/packages

Using openrc-init

Does not work

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC/openrc-init

sys-apps/openrc[sysv-utils]

lxc config set dev-gentoo-clang-minimal raw.lxc 'lxc.init.cmd = /sbin/openrc-init'

Creating usable containers

Run

lxd-setup

Create containers from template file

https://github.com/thermitegod/shell-scripts/blob/master/python/template/config_lxd.py

lxd-admin -u

Note

Since LXD hosted gentoo image is build with GCC, have to rebuild using clang

Rebuilds @world with either GCC or Clang based on package.env
