Slackware server -- container options?
by Gerard Lally from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5G77N)
Interested to hear what people use to "jail" services on their Slackware servers.
About a decade ago I set up NetBSD as a lightweight Xen host (dom0) with multiple Xen Linux and NetBSD guests (domU) spun off for different services. DNS, web, mail, VPN, etc.
It was an interesting learning exercise, and I would be happy to set up my VPS server this way again if necessary.
Before doing that, however, I would like to hear what people use on Slackware. I'm familiar with KVM/Qemu, but not with Slackware as a host (or guest) for OpenVZ, LXC, Docker, and so on. I have no familiarity with these at all, although from the little I've read it seems there are lingering security concerns with Docker and Kubernetes that I certainly want to avoid.
I was surprised to see that OpenVZ is not listed at slackbuilds dot org. Is it not used these days? LXC seems to be an Ubuntu thing, which doesn't particularly appeal to me.
