I've configured an lxc container with softether. The lxc container has a bridge connection, so I have a LAN IP with my lxc container.

Here's the IPs of my office:

  • Router/DHCP Server: 192.168.1.1

  • LXC Host: br0 - 192.168.1.2

  • LXC Guest: 192.168.1.3

  • DHCP Range: 192.168.1.200-192.168.1.220

LXC Guest is accessible from lan

Now I want to use softeher to enable access to LAN with LAN ip, so I want that any client that connects gets the an IP from the LAN DHCP.

For example, vpn user ip: 192.168.1.200

I've tried to configure bridged IP within LXC guest but I can't get working.

Here is the config of the lxc guest:

# Template used to create this container: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-debian
# Parameters passed to the template: -r jessie
# For additional config options, please look at lxc.container.conf(5)
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/debvpn/rootfs
lxc.network.link = br0

# Common configuration
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/debian.common.conf

# Container specific configuration
lxc.mount = /var/lib/lxc/debvpn/fstab
lxc.utsname = debvpn
lxc.arch = amd64
lxc.autodev = 1
lxc.kmsg = 0


lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.1.3/24
lxc.network.ipv4.gateway = 192.168.1.1
lxc.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes = 1024M
lxc.network.link = br0
lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:FF:EA:14:24:13

lxc.cgroup.devices.deny = a

lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 10:200 rwm

lxc.hook.autodev = sh -c "modprobe tun; cd ${LXC_ROOTFS_MOUNT}/dev; mkdir net; mknod net/tun c 10 200; chmod 0666 net/tun"

And the /etc/network/interfaces of the lxc guest: iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface br0 inet static
  bridge-ifaces   eth0
  bridge_ports    eth0
  bridge_stp      off
  bridge_fd       9
  bridge_hello 2
  bridge_maxage 12
  up ifconfig eth0 up

Any help on create the bridged network within an lxc container?

Thanks in advance, choldi

    Does the bridge exist in the guest? Do you get any permissions errors on the host / guest in syslog? Since LXC uses a network namespace, it seems to me that it should work out of the box. If not, you may need `CAP_NET_ADMIN` capabilities. You can grant this capability with cgroups – BobTuckerman Aug 02 '16 at 04:21
  • I don't get any error on syslogs (on host and guest). I'm not sure how works network namespaces, but the guest runs in a privileged namespace. Any lecture about network namespaces and capability management would be appretiate. – choldi Aug 03 '16 at 13:14
