[lxc-users] variable for containername in profile possible - Assigning existing LVM volume based on containername while container creation

[Axel Schöner]

Hello,
 

 

is it possible to use variables like the "container name" in a profile declaration?

I want to assign already existing lvm-volumes by creating a container.

 

 

It could look perhaps like this

 

devices:
...
  xvdb1:
    path: /home
    source: /dev/vgLXD/$containername
    type: disk

...

 

 

My goal is to create the private storage before creating a container and keep it also if the

container has been deleted. I would prefer a lightweight solution that works in a non-priviledged setup.

Are there better ideas?

 

 

Thanks

Axel
