Hello, I was wondering, if somebody already tried to run users sessions in containers. It seems to be quite new technology in the mainline kernel. Ubuntus site about Lxc lists LTSP as one of the use-cases for Lxc, but it does not specifies this use case further.
My imagination about this use case: 1. User logs in 2. Users private container gets created/started 3. Users session starts in his container and the X11 is forwarded to his thin-client 4. User logs out 5. Users private container stops I already saw the docs of S. Graber, so I guess someone did it. The most of the documentation in the web configures each container with separate IP address. That is hard to realise having many users and few IPs. Some kind of PTS-forwarding sounds feasible. Now we are using Hardy with Grsecurity to get some extra isolation of user sessions. That is a solution with pros and cons. We plan to migrate to Lucid and such "virtualized desktop session" would be a great advantage of ltsp installation for us.
