My setup uses the container name as its handle. If I create a container like this: cd /var/lib/lxc mkdir test /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-debian-box -n test -p /var/lib/lxc/test I can access it with: ssh r...@test.freedom.box Maybe this is what you want? My setup uses dnsmasq to do some DHCP/DNS magic. Wrote an article about my setup: http://freedomboxblog.nl/installing-lxc-dhcp-and-dns-on-my-freedombox/ Rob. http://freedomboxblog.nl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
