This project will automatically deploy LXCFS while mounted to the container

Introduction

LXCFS is a small FUSE filesystem written with the intention of making Linux containers feel more like a virtual machine. It started as a side-project of LXC but is useable by any runtime.

LXCFS will take care that the information provided by crucial files in procfs such as:

/proc/cpuinfo
/proc/diskstats
/proc/meminfo
/proc/stat
/proc/swaps

/proc/uptime
/proc/slabinfo
/sys/devices/system/cpu
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online

are container aware such that the values displayed (e.g. in /proc/uptime) really reflect how long the container is running and not how long the host is running.

Prerequisites

  1. Kubernetes cluster (v1.19+) is running. For local development purpose, check Kind installation.

you can enable the namespace for injection.

kubectl label namespace default mount-lxcfs=enabled
