Hi Gaëtan, I have never tried it, but sounds interesting. Current masakari is not designed to run in the containers. However, except masakari monitors, most of masakari components can run on the containers.

For masakari-hostmonitor, you don't need to run systemd daemon inside the container. Hoever, the code need to be changed slightly to use remote systemd on the host OS. ex: systemctl --host user_name@host_name command Or we also can use the method Mark shared in previous email.

I would not recommend running the systemd daemon in a container, but you could potentially use the client to access a daemon running on the host. E.g., for debian: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54079586/make-systemctl-work-from-inside.... No doubt there will be various gotchas with this.

Are you planning to run pacemaker and corosync on the host?

Since masakari-hostmonitor needs to detect any failures of the host, pacemaker and corosync need to run on the host OS. You may do the otherwise, but this is the simplest solution.

Hi,

I'm integrating Masakari into Kolla and Kolla Ansible projects but I'm facing an issue related to masakari-hostmonitor.

Based on masakari-monitors code[1], "systemctl status" command is used to check if pacemaker, pacemaker-remote and corosync are running.

Having systemd running into Docker container is not the best solution. Does any of you has been able to run masakari-monitor into Docker container ?
