Use ami-1aad5273
sudo -i
apt-get update && apt-get install lxc debootstrap bridge-utils dnsmasq
mkdir /cgroup mount -t cgroup none /cgroup
(If you want to keep cgroup mounted between reboots, do: echo "none /cgroup cgroup defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab instead.)
Now, let's create a network bridge for the containers to be able to connect to the network/Internet. Simply run:
brctl addbr br0 brctl setfd br0 0 ifconfig br0 192.168.3.1 up
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Let's set up DHCP/DNS on our new bridge. Open up /etc/dnsmasq.conf for editing (vim/nano/ed/cat, your choice). Uncomment the necessary lines so that the conf file looks like the following:
domain-needed bogus-priv interface = br0 listen-address = 127.0.0.1 listen-address = 192.168.3.1 expand-hosts domain = containers dhcp-range = 192.168.3.50,192.168.3.200,1h
Now, you'll need to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf for DNS to properly resolve locally. Add the following lines to the beginning:
(use dhcp/dhclient.conf )
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; prepend domain-search "containers.";
dhclient3 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0
service dnsmasq restart
