How to manage services inside an OpenVZ container?


OpenVZ containers, also known as virtual private servers (VPS), are similar to regular Linux servers. You can manage services inside them using the same tools you would use on a regular server, such as systemd or sysvinit, depending on the distribution running inside the container.

Here’s how you can do it:

Directly Via SSH:

1. SSH into the VPS: `ssh root@your.vps.ip.address`.

1. Once connected, you can manage services using service or systemctl commands, such as:

a. `service serviceName start` to start a service. b. `service serviceName stop` to stop a service. c. `service serviceName restart` to restart a service. d. `systemctl start serviceName` to start a service with systemctl. e. `systemctl stop serviceName` to stop a service with systemctl. f. `systemctl restart serviceName` to restart a service with systemctl.

Note: Replace “serviceName” with the actual name of the service you want to manage.

From the OpenVZ Host:

1. Enter the container: `vzctl enter CTID` (Replace CTID with the actual container ID).

1. Once inside the container, you can manage services just like you would do directly via SSH, as described above.

Note: You need to have root access in the VPS or container to perform these operations. If you do not have root access, you will need to contact your hosting provider or system administrator for further help.

Moreover, the commands to manage services might be different depending on the Linux distribution running inside the container. The above instructions are applicable for distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL etc. which use init or systemd as their service management system.
