compute-tools - Manage systemd-nspawn containers

compute-tools were written by Daniel Baumann < <daniel.baumann@open-infrastructure.net> > and others. Open Infrastructure compute-tools COMPUTE-TOOLS(7)

[A Linux container] is an operating-system-level virtualization environment for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a single Linux control host. -- Wikipedia ( <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXC> ) compute-tools provides the system integration for managing containers using systemd-nspawn(1).

This version of compute-tools currently do not work with systemd-networkd and depend on ifupdown. Using overlay, the upper directory can not be an NFS mount due to limitations in Linux' overlay filesystem ( <https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt> ).
