Kernel requirements

According to linuxcontainers.org, Linux kernel >= 3.8 is required, in addition some kernel options need to be enabled. Kernel requirements are usually met out of the box on newer SailfishOS ports (android-base >= 9), such as: Xperia XA2, Xperia X10 and F(X)Tec Pro1.

Once lxc package is installed, it is possible to check the current kernel for lxc support using lxc-checkconfig:

# lxc-checkconfig

if something is reported as "required" on lxc-checkconfig then you need to recompile your device's kernel including the required options.

Newer kernels (>4.4) may not have:

CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y

in this case take a look at #2.

SailfishOS requirements

lxc-templates-desktop package currently require the following dependencies from sailfishos repository:

  • lxc
  • lxc-templates
