Hello,


No replies so far from the devuan-dev list. Maybe with a larger audience I can
get some help!


Thanks!

eudev: Methods to detect if running in a container.

Hello,


I'm trying to solve the problem of detecting if you are within a container,
like
docker or LXC when running the eudev init script. If true udevd should not be
cstarted. The current version of eudev (3.2.9-4) has a buggy check for
containers, and people running runit as init have problems, see #392.


eudev-3.2.7-6 has the following test:
if ! ps --no-headers --format args ax | egrep -q '^\['; then
 log_warning_msg "udev does not support containers, not started"
 exit 0
fi
I don't know the origin of this test and have not found anything about the
output within a container.


udev-244-3 has the following test:
if [ ! -w /sys ]; then
 log_warning_msg "udev does not support containers, not started"
 exit 0
fi
This test is buggy since /sys is a directory not a file and /sys is always
writable when running. Any command triggers this test:
/etc/init.d/udev status
udev does not support containers, not started ... (warning).


Googling around the following tests shows:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docker_(software)


1) cat /proc/1/sched | head -n 1
# Container: bash (5276, #threads: 1)
# No container: init (1, #threads: 1)


2) grep 'docker\|lxc' /proc/1/cgroup
Note 1: On a beowulf image it is empty??
Note 2: On a systemd-free Debian/bullseye image it shows
1:name=elogind:/1
0::/
Note 3: On a systemd-free Debian/buster image:
<same as above> after removing systemd-shim and cgmanager


3) cat /proc/1/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep ^container


Any help on this subject is appreciated, especially the output of the above
tests when running in a container.


Thanks!

The short answer from my mobile: maybe i can help you later at home,
because i remember some similar issue related with the chroot jail of the
live-sdk (another type of container after all) and the dev-assistant of the
vdev packaging.

Cheers,

Aitor.

Now i can remember the issue: some script in the vdev.install file trying to detect if dev-assisntant is running or not, the "ps" throws an empty output even being it running. So, i used this behaviour in the dev-assistant script; that is if the output of the "ps" command is empty it means that we are in the chroot jail of the live-sdk and debconf will not ask anything to the user going ahead with the instalation of vdev/udev/eudev.

Hope this helps,

Aitor.
