This is the command adt-build-lxc that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
adt-build-lxc - Create or update autopkgtest container for adt-virt-lxc
SYNOPSIS
adt-build-lxc distribution release [architecture]
DESCRIPTION
adt-build-lxc creates or updates an LXC container adt-release which is suitable for
autopkgtest's LXC runner adt-virt-lxc(1).
It calls lxc-create with the distribution template (which can currently be debian or
ubuntu) and -rrelease to build a debootstrap-like container, then enables deb-src apt
sources, and runs apt-get update.
It defaults to the native architecture, but you can specify a different one as third
parameter.
If the container already exists, it updates it as unintrusively as possible by first
creating a new temporary container adt-release.new, and then rsyncing its root file system
back to the existing adt-release. Note that this could cause some side-effects and
breakage if you have running containers with ephemeral overlays (i. e. using the
--ephemeral option), but it does work in general. This update process does not interfere
at all if you use adt-virt-lxc with cloning.
Note that you need to call this as root, unless you set up LXC to allow per-user
containers. But user containers will not work with many or even most autopkgtests.
You can specify an apt proxy to use in the container in the $ADT_APT_PROXY environment
variable. If apt-cacher-ng is running on the local host, the container will automatically
use this (i. e. use the IP from the lxcbr0 interface) otherwise there is no default.
