Set up yum repository
host# mkdir /etc/rpm host# mkdir /var/lib/rpm host# apt-get install yum
vserver build does not use /etc/yum*, though you will see an ignorable error message about it if it doesn't exist.
Edit the files /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/fc6/yum.repos.d/fedora-{core,updates,extras}.repo
- Uncomment (remove starting '#' character) from the first baseurl= line of each file
- Change all instances of "$basearch" to "i386". e.g. in vim: :0,$s/$basearch/i386/g
- Some mirrors seem to not respect the architecture choice, so comment out (prepend '#') to the first mirrorlist= line of each file
If you use a proxy, append to /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/fc6/yum/yum.conf (in the [main] section) the line:
proxy=http://proxy.example.com:1234
Build vserver
host# export ARCH=i386 host# export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:1234 host# vserver fedora-zod-32-gustname build -m yum --hostname=fedora-zod-32-guestname --interface dummy0=eth0:10.0.0.123/8 --rootdir /var/lib/vservers -- -d fc6 -- --arch i386 host# unset ARCH
Verify
To observe the 32-bitness of the guest's applications, do:
host# vyum fedora-zod-32-guestname -- install file host# vserver fedora-zod-32-guestname start host# vserver fedora-zod-32-guestname enter fedora-zod-32-guestname# file /bin/ls /bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped
