[Lxc-users] An application container for apache?

Hello

I have the following scenario in mind: in a machine shared by a few
users, let each one control its own apache configuration by having an
application container for each user, with its own network interface and
apache configuration directory. Ideally, the apache instances would run
as the appropriate user, listening in a high port, instead of being
started by root, and an HTTP reverse proxy on the host would redirect
the connections to the appropriate apache instance.

Is this a feasible scenario? Has anyone tried something like this? Can
it even be done without using system containers? The alternative would
be using a system containers with read-only bind mounts, but this seems
much more complex.

Thanks in advance,
Andre
