At https://images.linuxcontainers.org are several images for Containers available. Even Plamo, a japanese Slackware derivative, is available, but sadly not Slackware itself.

I know that I can build an image myself with But I am running LXC Containers on Debian and Devuan hosts (the reason is, that I also run kvm machines with libvirt on the same hosts and need PAM for various reasons), and creating a Slackware-container fails because the pkgtools are missing.

So my workaround is usually to switch to a Slackware machine, create that container and rsync it to the Debian Host.

But it would be great to have a ready and up-to-date Slackware container image which one could just download with There are some Slackware Dockerfiles in existence - is there a way to convert them into an LXC container image?

What would it take to place a Slackware container image at linuxcontainers.org?

An LXC template would be sweet. Should be quasi-official, so we don't have to poke it for rootkits and other foul play.
Would love to have it available in Proxmox, along with the other distribution templates.

A LXC template for Slackware already exists. I was talking about a downloadable image.

A rootkit is something completely different and has nothing to do with containers or container images.

Sorry for being daft. My only experience with LXC is from Proxmox, and having there the option to add a Slackware container would be really useful.
As for the rootkits, what I meant was that it would have to be put together by someone from the development team, someone that can be trusted, to be able to use it in a production environment.

linuxcontainers does have slackware by now (2023-2024).
it can be used to create a container with the described command.

But how can one downdload the container image, to make it usable in something like ProxmoxVE ?
