| ajmitch | stgraber: your lxc posts on your blog are useful, I'm looking to try & use it for something a bit lighter than virtualbox for testing :) | 21:40 |
|---|---|---|
| stgraber | ajmitch: thanks! yeah, I'm using containers everyday for testing. Even got d-i to run in a container so I can test netcfg without a VM :) | 21:41 |
| ajmitch | nice | 21:45 |
| ajmitch | I've been using vagrant to automate set up & tear down of VMs, is there something similar for lxc? | 21:46 |
| stgraber | not that I know of, most people using lxc for development setup a basic container by hand, then use lxc-clone or lxc-start-ephemeral to spawn new containers based on that template | 21:50 |
| ajmitch | right, that sounds useful | 21:50 |
| stgraber | (clone copies the container, lxc-start-ephemeral uses overlayfs to do copy-on-write and looses all changes when shutdown) | 21:50 |
| ajmitch | I think ephemeral containers is what I'd use most | 21:50 |
| ajmitch | no man page for lxc-start-ephemeral, how disappointing ;) | 21:51 |
| stgraber | yeah, it's not upstream yet, I know hallyn started working on a manpage when preparing the branch for upstream | 21:52 |
| stgraber | ajmitch: http://people.canonical.com/~serge/lxc.serverguide.pdf might be useful, a better version has been pushed to the ubuntu server guide but I don't think it's online yet | 21:53 |
| ajmitch | thanks | 21:57 |
