container-tools: Host Setup
===========================


1. Debian Packages
-------------------

apt install net-tools bridge-utils ifenslave vlan


2. Boot Parameters
------------------

2.1 CGroup Memory Controller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to enable the memory controller the following boot parameter needs to be used:

	cgroup_enable=memory


2.2 CGroup Swap Controller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to enable the swap controller the following boot parameter needs to be used:

	swapaccount=1


3. Networking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3.1 Enable IPv4 Forwarding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

apt install procps
echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" > /etc/sysctl.d/ip_foward.conf
sysctl -p

4. Enabling container-shell
---------------------------

Managing containers requires root privileges. In order to allow unprivileged
users to manage containers without granting them privileges or accounts,
the container-shell can be used together with sudo and a container user.

  sudo adduser --gecos "container-tools,,," \
	--home /var/lib/machines/container-tools \
	--shell /usr/bin/container-shell \
	--no-create-home container
