[21:40] <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 :)
[21:41] <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 :)
[21:45] <ajmitch> nice
[21:46] <ajmitch> I've been using vagrant to automate set up & tear down of VMs, is there something similar for lxc?
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <ajmitch> no man page for lxc-start-ephemeral, how disappointing ;)
[21:52] <stgraber> yeah, it's not upstream yet, I know hallyn started working on a manpage when preparing the branch for upstream
[21:53] <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
[21:57] <ajmitch> thanks
