I created a k8s cluster on my laptop (QEMU/KVM based) and in order to make use of ReadWriteMany (RWX) volumes, I created a Ubuntu 24.04 LXC container to act as the NFS server. To this end, I have the following profile attached to the container which I gleaned from this github repo:
lxc profile show nfs-server
$ > lxc profile show nfs-server
name: nfs-server
description: LXC profile for nfs nodes
config:
boot.autostart: "true"
linux.kernel_modules: bridge,br_netfilter,x_tables,ip_tables,ip_vs,ip_set,ipip,xt_mark,xt_multiport,ip_tunnel,tunnel4,netlink_diag,nf_conntrack,nfnetlink,overlay
raw.lxc: |-
lxc.apparmor.profile = unconfined
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = a
lxc.mount.auto=proc:rw sys:rw cgroup:rw
#lxc.mount.entry=/media/lxcshare share none rw,bind 0.0
lxc.cap.drop =
security.nesting: "true"
security.privileged: "true"
devices:
aadisable:
path: /sys/module/nf_conntrack/parameters/hashsize
source: /dev/null
type: disk
aadisable1:
path: /sys/module/apparmor/parameters/enabled
source: /dev/null
type: disk
nfsdir:
path: /opt/pv
source: /opt/pv
type: disk
used_by:
- /1.0/instances/nfs-server
The container also has the default profile attached which looks like:
lxc profile show default
$ > lxc profile show default
name: default
description: Default LXD profile
config: {}
devices:
eth0:
name: eth0
network: lxdbr0
type: nic
root:
path: /
pool: default
type: disk
used_by:
- /1.0/instances/nfs-server
After setting this up, I proceeded to start the container which caused the laptop to reboot. However, when it came back up, the container was running and I could access the NFS shares just fine and the jobs in the cluster could access and write to the NFS shares as expected.
When I stop the cluster and stop the container, the next time I start it back up, it causes the laptop to reboot so now I’m 2/2 meaning it is 100% repeatable.
I found absolutely nothing in the logs. When I logged back in, I checked my command history for the time I ran the lxc start command and there’s absolutely nothing logged after that timestamp other than the usual kernel boot entry.
Is there maybe something extra I need to add to/remove from the profile to make it start up with causing a host reboot?
EDIT: I’d better include the Laptop and LXD details:
