- --pkgbase dir
- Package base directory [default: /var/lib/vservers/.pkg].
CONFIG OPTIONS¶

- The vserver configuration directory to use [default: /etc/vservers/<name>].
- --lockfile filename
- The lockfile to use [default: /var/run/vservers/<name>].

- Hostname of the vserver.
- --netdev device
- The default interface to use for --interface.
- --netbcast broadcast
- Broadcast address to associate with the vserver.
- --netmask netmask|--netprefix prefixlen
- Sets the default netmask (a.b.c.d quadruple) or prefixlen (length of the network).
- --interface [name-suffix=][device:]ip[/mask|prefixlen]
- Declares a network-interface name and associated IP/netmask; this option can be specified multiple times.
- --flags flags+
- Sets comma-separated list of flags; see lib/cflags-v13.c for a list.
- --cpuset name
- Declares the CPUSET this vserver will run in [default: none]
- --cpusetcpus number[-number][:exclusive]
- Sets which CPUs belong to the CPUSET, :exclusive is a flag (0|1) prohibiting any other cpuset from using those CPUs.
- --cpusetmems number[-number][:exclusive]
- Sets which memory pools belong to the CPUSET, :exclusive is a flag (0|1) prohibiting any other cpuset from using those memory pools.
- --cpusetvirt
- Virtualize the cpuset (the vserver will see only CPUs defined in the cpuset). Requires kernel patch from http://www.bullopensource.org/cpuset/
- --initstyle style
- Configures the initstyle (e.g. minit, sysv, plain, gentoo)
METHODS¶
- apt-rpm
- -- -d distribution Installs the base-packages of the given distribution with the help of vapt-get
- yum
- -- -d distribution Installs the base-packages of the given distribution with help of vyum
- rpm
- -- [-d distribution] --empty|([--force] [ --nodeps] manifest)+ Installs lists of rpm-packages
- skeleton
- -- [cmd args*] Installs a minimal skeleton filesystem, creates the configuration file and calls an optional command
- debootstrap
- -- -d distribution [-m mirror] [-s script] [-- debootstrap-options*] Bootstraps the vserver with Debian's 'debootstrap' package
- template
- -- (-t tarball)+ [-d distribution] Installs a vserver using tarball(s)
- fai
- -- [-f fai_vserver] [-n nfsroot] [-d fai_dir] [-a] Bootstraps the vserver with the Debian Fully Automatic Installation -f means use the nfsroot and profile in the vserver fai_vserver -n nfsroot specifies the 'NFS' root explicitly -d fai_dir specifies the location of the FAI profile the -f option implies -n and -d are relative to the fai_vserver
- rsync
- -- [-d distribution] --source source [-o rsync option]* Installs a vserver by rsyncing from source to the guest root
- clone
- -- [-d distribution] --source source Clones a vserver by linking unified files and copying the rest
