[Lxc-users] Set default GW

[Bodhi Zazen]

Daniel - Thank you for answering, not a big deal.

Gordon - Aye, that is what I do for containers. For applications I write an "init" script

#!/bin/bash

route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth0

Additional commands / config

service start foo


or what not (depending on the application).

then

lxc-execute -n foo -f foo.config /path_to/init_script

Unfortunately, no yet. It is in the TODO list :/
