Introduction

This is a HowToDO to enable Core Dump with systemd on PVE 4.0 (Debian Jessie).

Requirements

To activate you have to create

/etc/security/limits.d/core.conf
/etc/sysctl.d/core.conf
/var/lib/coredumps

Allow Dump from CLI

To allow root to core dump from cli.

Edit: /etc/security/limits.d/core.conf

root       hard        core        unlimited
root       soft        core        unlimited

Allow Dump from Daemons

To allow all daemons witch are started by systemd to core dump.

Edit: /etc/systemd/system.conf add following

DefaultLimitCORE=infinity

Edit: /etc/sysctl.d/core.conf add following

kernel.core_pattern = /var/lib/coredumps/core-%e-sig%s-user%u-group%g-pid%p-time%t
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
fs.suid_dumpable = 2

Reboot Server

To activate this settings reboot the server.

Note: normally it should be enough to call

systemctl daemon-reexec

but it didn't work for me

Test it

To test if everything is working fine do this few steps to verify.
