I'm assuming it is... the faq says it is 1491268824 J * fstd_ ~fstd@x4db55229.dyn.telefonica.de 1491268831 Q * fstd Read error: Connection reset by peer 1491268840 N * fstd_ fstd 1491268974 Q * thierryp Ping timeout: 480 seconds 1491269020 M * Bertl misc--: development not much recently, at least not on the kernel side 1491269049 M * Bertl more kind of deep-freeze but maintained (i.e. patches get updated every now and then) 1491269059 M * misc-- ok fair enough 1491269082 M * Bertl differences: mainly virtualization features 1491269156 M * misc-- I am just asking because I've always loved vserver but had to do a new setup with a client with multiple vms and I thought I'd give lxc a go, only really because there's no kernel patches required. But after setting it all up, seems to eat more memory and is slower but then again I'm using zfs backend where as on vserver it's ext4 etc. I just need to do some benchmarking. I still really like vserver 1491269196 M * misc-- (no kernel patches required and also seems to be a lot of buzz about it, so I thought why not) 1491269201 M * Bertl yeah, I think LXC is 'on the verge' to become useable 1491269213 M * misc-- yeah 1491269241 M * Bertl it still lacks certain virtualizations and security seems to be tricky 1491269311 M * Bertl but I'm confident, it will be a good replacement soon 1491269339 M * misc-- yeah there are a few differences that seemed strange to me, coming from vserver. Such as mapping IDs (I guess that's required for non privileged containers, but I don't care about that). Also showing processes on the host will show guest processes 1491269354 M * misc-- mmm ok 1491269402 M * Bertl yes, in theory you could only run init on the 'host' and put everything else (from the host) inside a namespace 1491269428 M * misc-- yep 1491269428 M * Bertl that would keep 'the host' (now in a namespace) clean 1491269667 M * misc-- oh ok I see. I don't really know too much about namespaces and cgroups. So does that mean vserver makes use of namespaces where as with lxc, not as much? 1491269769 M * misc-- I'm probably completely wrong...!
