Public bug reported: I tried to use the local provider according to https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/config-local.html, in particular https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/config-LXC.html . James Page already informed me that the documentation is outdated for trusty, and one needs to drop the "sudo" from "juju bootstrap". With that, bootstrapping fails due to not being able to start the container, when using a non-default LXC path (I can't use /var/lib/lxc, my root partition is too small).
I initially experienced that on my normal trusty workstation, but I reproduced in a current and pristine trusty cloud-image VM (I just ran "run-adt-test -sUl" from lp:auto-package-testing). $ sudo apt-get install juju-local Now set up LXC for a different container path: $ sudo mkdir /srv/lxc $ echo "lxc.lxcpath = /srv/lxc" | sudo tee /etc/lxc/lxc.conf Note that this works just fine with all the LXC tools. $ juju generate-config Now create a different juju root: $ sudo mkdir /srv/juju; sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu /srv/juju $ sed -i '/root-dir/ { s/# //; s_:.*$_: /srv/juju_ }' .juju/environments.yaml $ juju switch local $ juju bootstrap Logging to /home/ubuntu/.juju/local/log/cloud-init-output.log on remote host Starting MongoDB server (juju-db-ubuntu-local) Bootstrapping Juju machine agent Starting Juju machine agent (juju-agent-ubuntu-local) So far so good: $ juju status environment: local machines: "0": agent-state: started agent-version: 1.17.4.1 dns-name: localhost instance-id: localhost series: trusty services: {} There are no actual containers running (sudo lxc-ls --fancy), but that's the same as with using the default /var/lib/lxc/. $ juju deploy mysql Added charm "cs:precise/mysql-36" to the environment.
