(there was no email admin address to send corrections to, so I thought I would post it here. I am a *complete* novice. I wanted to try out lxc). I read the main page and followed it:)
How do I use it? More details are available in the individual manpages shipped with LXC itself. But a basic example of how to create, start and stop a container would be as follow: lxc-create -t ubuntu -n p1 lxc-start -n p1 -d lxc-ls --fancy p1 lxc-stop -n p1 ok, so I tried it. on my ubuntu 13.04 gnome system, this does not work: $ sudo bash # lxc-create -t ubuntu -n p1 ... Generating locales... en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date Generation complete. Creating SSH2 RSA key; this may take some time ... Creating SSH2 DSA key; this may take some time ... Creating SSH2 ECDSA key; this may take some time ... invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start. ## # The default user is 'ubuntu' with password 'ubuntu'! # Use the 'sudo' command to run tasks as root in the container. ## # lxc-start -n -p1 -d lxc-start: Executing '/sbin/init' with no configuration file may crash the host this is probably explained elsewhere, but if the function of the home page is to get novices to try, posting a set of starter instructions that work under vanilla ubuntu would be helpful. in addition, may I suggest stating in the document how one would access/ssh into the container? does it have a host-ip or interface? this would make novicing into lxc easier, too. I don't want to waste everyone's time, so I will probably move on to some other software experiments... regards /iaw ---- Ivo Welch ([email protected]) _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
