Comment on Help Reviewing My Server Setup?

  Maybe I’m doing it wrong then. I run LXC but has always been a much worse experience. Boot times are terrible and the controls that work for VMs don’t work as well for LXC. You also can live transfer which is problematic for me.

    I think you’re doing it wrong. LXCs boot almost instantaneously on a hypervisor since they hijack the host kernel, I’d be surprised if my CTs take 5 seconds.

    I would agree on the live migration issue but I guess you pick your services accordingly. I have a VM that runs docker and a LXC docker host, and I pick my containers for each accordingly.

      How on earth are you getting 5 second boot time with LXC? My containers take around 10 minutes to boot while VMs take a few seconds. Also LXC networking seems to break randomly.

        I have no idea what you have going on, I’ve never seen LXCs take that long, even if I include the time it takes to down the containers and bring them up after a reboot.

        What are you using for running them? I just tested my docker LXC and it took 16 seconds from when I typed “reboot” to having a login prompt. And that’s on an ancient R410 server running proxmox.

        @possiblylinux127 @ikidd Something sounds wrong there. I exclusively use LXC containers because I loathe docker and my containers boot basically instantly, and the networking is rock-solid.
