Chapter 2 - Lab: systemd-nspawn part

Robson Esteves

Hi,

I'm running the Chapter 2 Labs and the systemd-container package (first step in systemd-nspawn part) is no available. Is there any other package to use? Without this package I cant use systemd-nspawn to create the contariner.

Thanks!

Robson

Hi Robson, 

Which OS you are trying it out ? The instructions are given for Ubuntu 16.04. Sometimes you might need to update the package index with following command to refresh the package list :-

$ apt update 

Please run the above command and then try just installing "systemd-container" package. 

Thanks.

The runC package is apparently missing from manifest for this course. Kindly advise what correct name is for apt-get install?

Instead of "runC", can you try installing "runc" package. 

$ apt install runc
