You can "import" directories from the host into a contianer using bind mounts. For example, I have this in some of my systems - this is the fstab file named in a container config file: none /vservers/vdsx10/dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 none /vservers/vdsx10/proc proc defaults 0 0 none /vservers/vdsx10/sys sysfs defaults 0 0 none /vservers/vdsx10/dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 #/usr /vservers/vdsx10/usr/ none defaults,bind,ro 0 0 /usr/lib/asterisk /vservers/vdsx10/usr/lib/asterisk none defaults,bind,ro 0 0 /var/lib/asterisk/moh /vservers/vdsx10/var/lib/asterisk/moh none defaults,bind,ro 0 0 /var/lib/asterisk/sounds /vservers/vdsx10/var/lib/asterisk/sounds none defaults,bind,ro 0 0 The first 4 lines ought to be faimilar, but the bottom ones are ones I use which are common over all containers on that host. /usr is commented out here - can't remember why - I'd need to go back through my notes for this instance, but it's sunday night here....
