[Lxc-users] An application container for apache?

[Sergio Daniel Troiano]

Hi Patrick,

you can use the root mount point ("/") or create your own
root-mount-point, I prefered to use my own mount point called
"/container/" .
Within  container's direrctory i copied all the necessary dirs and files
(/usr/, /etc/ , /bin ....).
Remember to change config file to change rootfs mount point.

Those dirs and files will be shared  but some programs need to run with
their own (no shared) directories.
In this point you can mount (bind mode) them , for example i use to do
it creating a folder called "/webvirtualX", within it i've created
no-shared dirs such as apache logs, fcgid sockets, and so on .
