We have working support for installing MediaWiki-Vagrant in an LXC container now!
See the instructions in support/README-lxc.md [0] for a description of how to use it from a Ubuntu 14.04 host computer. Patches are welcome giving alternate instructions for other distributions. Note that Vagrant 1.7+ is required for the latest version of the vagrant-lxc plugin that this uses so you will probably not be able to install Vagrant from a package repo unless you are running Debian unstable. Making using MediaWiki-Vagrant a lighter weight experience for users who are running Linux on their laptops. I took a shot at this right after Wikimania last year by figuring out how to use MediaWiki-Vagrant to provision a Docker container. That experiment made a system that we too unstable for me to promote anyone using it as more than a proof of concept. Since then I've "been meaning to" try out LXC by using the vagrant-lxc plugin [1] and last weekend I finally found the time. Thanks to Marko Obrovac and Dan Duvall for helping test this.
