Setup
... disable NetworkManager, enable network.service
Note: Finding the right LXC, criu and Kernel versions is crucial, as missing features in non-matching versions may render criu unusable. It is a good idea to keep to the versions provided in your distributions package manager. Definately working are criu version 2.2, LXC version 2.0.0 and Kernel 4.4.4 (Tested on Fedora 23).
You also may have to add the following to the LXC config file (as per https://criu.org/LXC):
lxc.console = none
lxc.tty = 0
lxc.cgroup.devices.deny = c 5:1 rwm
RPM dependencies:
gnupg
libcap
libcap-devel
Replace <version> with a version tag like lxc-2.0.9.
git clone https://github.com/lxc/lxc.git
cd lxc
git checkout <version>
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=<prefix> --enable-configpath-log
make && make install
Also, [email protected]:timohl/lxc.git in branch lxctools contains lxc-2.0.8 with a commit that might be required (not sure yet).
RPM dependencies:
protobuf
protobuf-c
protobuf-c-devel
protobuf-compiler
protobuf-devel
protobuf-python
libnl3
libnl3-devel
python-ipaddr
libbsd
libcap-devel
Replace <version> with a version tag like v3.6.
git clone https://github.com/xemul/criu
cd criu
git checkout <version>

migration creates zombie processes: no fix yet; restore process needs to be reparented to init so that it gets properly reaped.
criu failes with too many fds: ulimit -n 102400 this is also a fix for several different error criu produces when dumping a large container (should be fixed with criu 2.1 -> it wasn't)
