Install Snakeoil in Linux Container (LXC)
#1
Hi All,
Kith mentioned that the next best option to install Snakeoil is in a Linux virtual environment LXC, understand some capabilities of Snakeoil will no longer available under virtual environment e.g. RT kernel.

I want to try it as the setup allow more flexible deployment of computing resources, does anyone got instructions on installing Snakeoil on LXC?

Thank you

William

No experience with LXC but can recommend Virtual Box. It will give you the flexibility that you are looking for, but there may be a slight compromise with SQ (sound quality) because of the overheads of a virtual environment.

LXC is using the kernel of the host OS, so in theory if your host OS is using RT, in theory it will be as well (if you set the LXC process to RT too).

CPUset is unlikely to do it's magic, but have to try it and see. Also, you'll need to pass through the USB card into the container.

Once these are done I think it'll work. Let me know how it goes.
