Description

OpenVZ Setup (Host only)

This cookbook installs OpenVZ on the host machine with OpenVZ packages.

Additionally, it adds a watchdog script, which alerts root, if VEs exceed their limits.

Ohai Plugins (Guest only)

This cookbook ships with two Ohai plugins:

• openvz-ipaddress: This detects the ipaddress and ip6address correctly inside OpenVZ containers. As these aren't bound to a usual ethX or so, vanilla Ohai does not recognize the addresses.
• openvz-hostdetection: Stores the node, on which the container is running in node['virtualization']['host]. It therefore uses the openvz-host hint, which is placed from the outside into the containers file system.
