I would like to create my containers to share a single rootfs directory.
I create a master container using lxc-create using my variation of the ubuntu
template and my config file. I also install additional programs into the
rootfs.
At this point, I have a program using liblxc which does the work of starting
the containers.
The program reads the master container config into a struct lxc_conf. It makes
changes to the NIC hwaddrs to make them unique, but otherwise the config is
left unchanged. The program then calls lxc_start to execute the program that
needs to run in the container. A large number of containers are started like
this. The only issue I have is you cannot have more than one lxc_start active
until the container is running. So, start them serially. Additionally, I
needed to set lxc.console=none, which is what I wanted anyway. And, for some
reason, you need to have a /var/lib/lxc/containername directory.
So, are there any problems that might arise doing it this way?
Regards.
