Setup for RDMO in LXC container (for development)

rdmo_setup

It is about a privileged container. Hostsystem:
Debian 4.6.4-1 (2016-07-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux (PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)")

1. sudo lxc-create -t download -n <name>

2. Choose:
    Distribution: debian
    Release: stretch
    Architecture: amd64
This resulted in installation of the same base system than that of the host.

3. Add network configuration in var/lib/lxc/<name>/config:
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.network.ipv4 = 10.0.3.33/24
lxc.network.ipv4.gateway = auto
The last 2 entries make the container think these are BIOS settings,
which will be honored by setting "iface eth0 inet manual" in the container's /etc/networking/interfaces.

4. sudo lxc-start -n rdmo
5. sudo lxc-attach -n rdmo

As root in container:

+ modify /etc/network/interfaces to:

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet manual
    
   
"manual" will make the container behave like it's BIOS already set up the interface and just use it.

# Allow access while running under container IP. Edit rdmo/settings/local.py:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost', '10.0.3.33']

# start development server:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
