What about KVM instead of LXC? It provides full blown virtual machines, versus operating-system level virtualization. This provides better isolation for better security, in theory anyway. And, it works on Debian Wheezy. I've got it running on an x86 box, where I have separate VMs for different services (ownCloud, Tor relay, etc.) I see KVM has been ported to ARM too, although haven't tried it there. Some links: Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-based_Virtual_Machine GitHub project: https://github.com/columbia/linux-kvm-arm Website: http://columbia.github.io/linux-kvm-arm/ I installed the virt-manager package, to get the graphical user interface for configuring and running VMs. My next step would be to install just qemu-kvm, and write scripts to start VMs that way instead. (That, or run virt-manager from another box, but I'd like to get this automated with scripts.) _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
