As discussed on IRC, rather that giving the lxd container a generic hostname of "lp-$series-$arch", it should get a hostname based on (or exactly the same) as the host running lp-buildd.
Tail end of the IRC discussion:
07:09 < infinity> If the container has an /etc/hosts entry for lcy01-amd64-001.buildd that points to the container, it literally makes no difference that it's the same name as the outer host.
07:09 < cjwatson> Oh, if it points to the container, I see
07:09 < cjwatson> Right, that makes sense
07:10 < infinity> That only matters if the container wants to talk to the host or vice-versa, both of which are things we explicitly don't want anyway.
07:10 < cjwatson> Yeah
07:10 < cjwatson> Can I have a bug? It's a bit fiddly because we probably need to do hostname --fqdn or something to work out what to use
07:11 < cjwatson> I can sort it out, just want a reminder
If there's some lxdish reason why it has a conniption if the host and container match (I can't see why, but hey, it could be), just prepending a subdomain of "lxd" or similar would make sense to me (ie: lxd.lcy01-amd64-001.buildd), which would be short enough to not be excessively icky, and handily also defeat the previous 'lp-*' glob in livecd-rootfs so that code magically stops being broken. ;) |
