Type: unix-hotplug¶
Note
The unix-hotplug device type is supported for containers.
It supports hotplugging.
Unix hotplug devices make the requested Unix device appear as a device in the container (under /dev).
If the device exists on the host system, you can read from it and write to it.
The implementation depends on systemd-udev to be run on the host.
Device options¶
unix-hotplug devices have the following device options:
| Key: | ownership.inherit |
| Type: | bool |
| Default: |
|
| Key: | required |
| Type: | bool |
| Default: |
|
The default is false, which means that all devices can be hotplugged.
Configuration examples¶
Add a unix-hotplug device to an instance by specifying its vendor ID, product ID, and/or subsystem:
lxc config device add <instance_name> <device_name> unix-hotplug vendorid=<vendor_ID> productid=<product_ID> subsystem=<subsystem>
