I have happily used a second Arch as a container booted with systemd-nspawn.

I would like now install a CentOS container, but I am not sure how to proceed the install. What is the correct way ? - first install minimal CentOS from an iso in a dedicated partition (in my case it will be a ssd), then mount the ssd filesystem in /var/lib/container/MyCentOS ? - mount the iso file with systemd-nspawn --image=/path/to/CentOS.iso, boot my container and then install CentOS .

I haven't tried it myself but you could use a pre-built image like this

http://images.linuxcontainers.org/images/centos/7/amd64/default/20150131_02:...

Bonus point, it can run an lxc container as well.

Thank you for the link, but i doesn't really answer my question with systemd-nspwan. Btw, I deicded to go Fedora and installed this way: # yum -y --releasever=21 --nogpg --installroot=/srv/mycontainer --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedora install systemd passwd yum fedora-release-server vim-minimal

You could untar the rootfs archive and start systemd-nspawn on it? instead of having to install the minimal image yourself? -- Regards Shridhar
