[Lxc-users] Routing issues

[Rory Campbell-Lange]

I have (with Rob van der Hoeven's help) setup a Debian Wheezy container on a
Wheezy host. This worked well.

I can ssh into the main host from the lxc host. However I cannot hit the
internet from the lxc host. I'd be grateful for some pointers.

At present I have the following configuration on the host:

    auto br0
    iface br0 inet static
            bridge_ports eth0
            bridge_fd 0
            address aa.bb.cc.103
            netmask 255.255.255.192
            gateway aa.bb.cc.65

and the following in the container config:

    lxc.utsname = wheezy05
    lxc.network.type = veth
    lxc.network.flags = up
    lxc.network.link = br0
    lxc.network.ipv4 = aa.bb.cc.87/26
    lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:1E:83:8D:7C:25

with the following in wheezy05's /etc/network/interfaces file:

    auto eth0
    # iface eth0 inet dhcp
    iface eth0 inet static
        address aa.bb.cc.87
        netmask 255.255.255.192
        gateway aa.bb.cc.65

One specific issue I found: 

    * it looks like the container address is assigned at startup and the
      'interfaces' network stanza is not run -- I have to assign the
      gateway by hand

Many thanks
Rory
