Thanks, but I guess I am just in a different mode of use. I am looking for something that fills in like: lxc-create -t ubuntu-lamp -n LAMPServer Where it pulls a template already defined with the LAMP stack, and with possibly a little tweaking on my part after creation ie: fix the missing CPAN stuff for perl, PEAR stuff etc.. Is this not what those templates are for on the various sites I mentioned? ? Is there not a template like I mentioned above? Where I don't have to recreate the wheel so to speak, but may tweak it a little ? ? ? Or am I missing something in this if thats not that case? ? ? > A bonus, is this approach also allows to you use the same tools across > baremetal, virtualization, and containers. Well since our standard for virtualization is VMWare ESXi (VSphere), Player or the older Server 2.x none of these tools are likely to work. LXC is mainly for my personal use to isolate some things in their own little worlds. It would be nice if ALSA could be setup on the host to feed LXC containers to do some things. Especially if I could feed it an ALSA alias as an input to the LXC's "Mic or Line." We remove pulseaudio, and use strictly ALSA, and always will. We've found it much more reliable. That probably needs something of an LXC-ALSA layer to sort that all out...Don't need output so much as the ability to take input from an ALSA alias and feed it to a program, with one or two of this program running in their own LXC container. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
