LXC Virtualization ​

Images available for creating LXC Containers ​

x86_64:

Auto-patching images: https://github.com/oneclickvirt/lxc_amd64_images/blob/main/fixed_images.txt

Self-patching images: https://github.com/oneclickvirt/pve_lxc_images/blob/main/fixed_images.txt

and

Run pveam available --section system to see the names and version numbers of the officially available systems.

Priority: Self-patching images (not supported by Proxmox-VE 5 and below) > Official default images (both supported) image

The version has been automatically recognized by a script to use the corresponding image.

arm:

Supported systems can be viewed in the file above, which lists debian and ubuntu systems do not use the aliases in it, just use the numeric designators.

The default CT username for all systems is root

Creating Individual LXC Containers for Virtualization ​

• Automatically create NAT servers using the default Debian 11 image, or customize the system image as needed.
• Automatically perform internal and external network port mapping, including ports 22, 80, 443, and 25 additional ports with identical numbers for both internal and external networks.
• After generation, allow some time for the virtual machine to configure its internal network and login information. This process takes approximately 3 minutes.
• The default network configuration includes port mappings for 22, 80, 443, and a range of 25 ports for both internal and external networks.
• Customize the number of cores, memory size, disk size, and the storage disk on the host machine for allocation. Ensure that you calculate available resources before creating containers.
• Optionally specify the storage disk location in the command. When not specified, it defaults to the local disk, which is the system disk. Alternatively, you can specify a mount disk as displayed in PVE.
• The created containers are enabled with SSH by default, allowing root login. They are also configured to support nested virtualization for Docker.
• Relevant container information will be stored in the respective container's notes, accessible through the web interface.
• If the host machine has an IPV6 subnet, IPV6 networking will be automatically attached, but no public IPV6 addresses will be provided.
• Optionally enable or disable standalone IPV6, requires the host to have at least one /64 subnet

Usage Instructions ​

Download Script

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oneclickvirt/pve/main/scripts/buildct.sh -o buildct.sh && chmod +x buildct.sh

Meaning of each parameter

./buildct.sh CTID Password Number_of_CPU_Cores Memory Disk SSH_Port Port_80 Port_443 Start_Public_Port End_Public_Port System Storage_Disk Independent_IPV6_address(leave default N blank)

Test Example ​

./buildct.sh 111 oneclick123 1 512 5 20001 20002 20003 30000 30025 debian11 local N

After setting up, you can execute cat ct111 to view the information, or check the NOTES section on the web interface.

Here is the information for the created example CT:

Please note that "CT" and other technical terms might have specific meanings in different contexts. If "CT" stands for something specific in your domain, you might want to provide additional context for accurate translation.

Deletion specific CT ​

• Stop CT
• Delete CT
• Delete Port Mapping
• Restart Network
• Delete Log Files

Download Script

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oneclickvirt/pve/main/scripts/pve_delete.sh -o pve_delete.sh && chmod +x pve_delete.sh

Meaning of each parameter

You can delete the CT with the corresponding CTID, as demonstrated here using the example 111 above

./pve_delete.sh 111

The actual number of deletions is not fixed, a space separates each CTID, and more than one can be deleted at a time.

Batch Creation of LXC Containers with NAT ​

• It is possible to run the batch container creation process multiple times. However, please be mindful of allocating enough memory to the host machine to prevent system crashes. For adding swap space, refer to this link.
• There is a 60-second interval between creating each container to avoid sudden performance bottlenecks.
• Customization options include selecting the number of CPU cores, memory size, disk size, and the storage drive on the host machine. Ensure that you have calculated available resources appropriately before initiating the process.
• The created containers have SSH enabled by default, allowing root login. Additionally, they are configured to support nested virtualization for Docker usage.
• Relevant information about the containers will be stored in the corresponding container's notes, which can be viewed on the web interface.
• If the host machine has an IPv6 subnet, it will be automatically assigned to the containers. However, public IPv6 addresses will not be provided.
• Optionally enable or disable standalone IPV6, requires the host to have at least one /64 subnet.

Usage Instructions ​

Download Script

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oneclickvirt/pve/main/scripts/create_ct.sh -o create_ct.sh && chmod +x create_ct.sh && bash create_ct.sh

After the setup is complete, you can execute cat ctlog to view the information, or check in the NOTES section on the web interface.

Delete All CT ​

• Delete all CTs
• Delete port mappings for all NATs
• Restart the network
• Delete log files

pct list | awk 'NR>1{print $1}' | xargs -I {} sh -c 'pct stop {}; pct destroy {}'
rm -rf ct*
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t filter -F
service networking restart
systemctl restart networking.service
systemctl restart ndpresponder.service
iptables-save | awk '{if($1=="COMMIT"){delete x}}$1=="-A"?!x[$0]++:1' | iptables-restore
iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4

Creating Virtual Machines with Pure IPv6 Addresses ​

The premise is that the host provides an IPv6 subnet rather than a standalone IPv6 address, and the host does not have MAC address filtering enabled.

Automatic Selection of IPv6 Addresses, No Manual Configuration Needed ​

• Pure IPV6 refers to a bound public IPV6 address, where the actual container still has the host's IPV4 network but no external IPV4 port
• Automatically detect available IPv6 ranges and bind the corresponding V6 address based on the container number to the container.
• Relevant system information will be stored in the NOTES of the corresponding container, accessible for viewing on the web interface.

Download script ​

Command:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oneclickvirt/pve/main/scripts/buildct_onlyv6.sh -o buildct_onlyv6.sh && chmod +x buildct_onlyv6.sh

Example Usage ​

./buildct_onlyv6.sh CTID Password Number_of_CPU_Cores Memory_Size_in_MB Disk_Size_in_GB Operating_System Storage_Disk

./buildct_onlyv6.sh 152 oneclick123 1 1024 10 debian12 local

The above command signifies the creation of a container with a pure IPV6 address.

Deletion Example ​

rm -rf ct*
pct stop 152 
pct destroy 152
systemctl restart ndpresponder.service
