Hi,<br>
<br>
I've also been running mythtv on centos 7 for some
time now.<br>
When 0.28 was released I was a bit miffed because
there was no repo that<br>
contained the rpm's available.<br>
Also the qt5 requirement was a bit of a challenge.<br>
<br>
I solved it by installing mythtv into a fedora 28
docker container on the<br>
centos 7.2 host.<br>
<br>
This solved a lot of problems for me.<br>
* quite a lot of rpms that in my view should not be
instaled on a server<br>
have been removed since they are installed in the
container (cleaner server<br>
config)<br>
* it's now in an isolated container again which
makes a far better security<br>
solution than running it directly on a server
backend<br>
* it's a lot easier to allow a container access to a
pci-card then to share<br>
it via passthrough to a vm ( most pci cards can't
deal with this including<br>
mine)<br>
* Rebuilding a docker container with a docker file
when there are updates<br>
is really easy.<br>
* the mariadb runs in a dedicated mariadb container.<br>
* cronjobs are started on the centos host with the
'container exec' command<br>
which runs them as the mythuser in the mythtvbackend
container.<br>
<br>
There are also drawbacks.<br>
* running mythtv setup is a pain but not impossible
(I created a dedicated<br>
container for this that I only build when needed
which is almost never)<br>
* database schema updates are a challenge too
(waiting for lock ends with a<br>
fail),<br>
for now I did a temporary mariadb install on my
frontend to deal with<br>
this (import old db from backend, upgrade, export
new db to backend)<br>
I removed it once this was done. I'm still
pondering what the best<br>
solution is for this (I'm tinking of merging it with
the mythsetup<br>
container)<br>
* it creates a rather large container<br>
* I still need to create a container for the mythweb
interface<br>
* Ofcourse this is complete f#@$-up of the container
principle, but it<br>
works for me :-) (and was a nice learing experience)<br>

Any chance you can write this up and add it to the wiki? I
always thought that containers were essentially VMs but
from what you say above this isn't exactly so.<br>
<br>
Alternative methods for building and/or using a mythtv
system are always of interest, especially if it can lead
to more efficient use of hardware.<span class="HOEnZb"><font

I really do not like editing wiki's<br>
<div class="gmail_extra">But since I've been using mythtv for
over a decade I think it's a fair suggestion.<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">However, Like I said my container
solution still needs work.<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">So it will be a work in progress for
some time.<br>
