Identify host of lxc containers when connecting via ssh
Dummy interface in an LXC guestAccess lxc container services from other lxc containers via hostConfiguring LXC containers to use a host bridge under CentOS 7LXD containers and networking with static IPlxd-type container static IP in profileOrchestration of lxc/ldxd containersEnabling cross-host container communication under a VMware ESXi environmentBridge needs IP on host when bridging lxc containers?Group containers in LXCCommunitaction between lxc contaners running on separate virtualboxes(vagrant)
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have plenty of servers (>100), mostly centos, ubuntu and some windows servers, monitored with Zabbix. Many of those servers are virtualized with vanilla LXC version 2 or version 3 (no libvirt, no LXD, no proxmox or similar). I am new to this environment and it's difficult for me to understand which machine is virtualized and where it is hosted.
So, I need a way to identify the LXC host when connecting with ssh to any of those servers.
To identify if I am actually within a LXC container, I can use
systemd-detect-virt
on systems with systemd. The output is telling me if I am within a container or not.
But I need more. I need to have a way to identify on which host that LXC container is hosted. I know that LXC containers are supposed to be as close as possible to a physical machine and that it might be unnecessary to know about the host system. But I need to maintain this environment. In addition, other system admins are adding, moving (many of the hosts are clustered), deleting LXC containers.
Is there a way which allows me to find the actual host where an LXC container is running on, without having to move over to virtualization platforms like proxmox and the lot?
I am willing and able to edit LXC container's config files. Perhaps there is something like a tag that is later on visible within the LXC container itself?
Thanks for your help.
