hi kevin, lxc on ubuntu 14.04 works awesome straight out of the box. Only for unprivileged container you have to add a single config file in ~/.config/lxc/default.conf, and rest everything works awesome. I am running it for various use cases now, i generally use it along side chef (to control the h

Does anyone know of a good blog post or other such document that steps some one through the entire set up process for LXC 1.0 and Ubuntu 14.04? Over a year ago I did some test with 12.04 and LXC 0.6 and while it worked for those test, it was the best kludge, I think I ever did. I wiped that t

because everything you need is already there.. you request a feature noone needs and that you can implement yourself already... another approach: man lxc.container.conf(5) see lxc.hook.pre-start make that script check for /tmp/lxcdontautostart and bail out if it exists. Tom Am Samstag, den

Everything is there already. Even in real world. you could: - define a run level for this purpose - delay the autostart - run your own script during bootup which asks you wether it should kick off the lxc-autostart process or not - it might default to yes after a timeout if no input occurs - create

This is a philosophical divide. I live in the real world, and are successfully moving all my business to LXC, or a combination of LXC and real virtualization, where you have a few virtual machines with hundreds of GBs of RAM and 36 or more cores, and these super-virtual machines act solely as cont

I've been reading this thread and this is the first *and only time* I've ever heard anyone request such a "kill all" command for LXC to terminate auto-start. Developer time is always in short supply and IMHO asking one of them to spend their time on such a *"corner-case" issue* is not putting thei
