[Lxc-users] Anyone with some prebuilt templates laying around they could share?

[Michael H. Warfield]

A recent threat on the lxc-users reminded me that I'm lacking a few
templates for testing under LXC.  OpenVZ has a number of prebuilt
containers (like CentOS) for download which some people (myself) have
used to create containers where we don't have prebuilt templates or the
lxc-templates we have do not function cross-distro.

For example...

On a Fedora host, I can create an Ubuntu container, thanks to deboot.

On an Ubuntu host, I can create a Fedora container using feboot.

I don't see an equivalent for Arch on either.  I can tell you that
trying to create an Arch container on Fedora host will fail miserably
trying to use lxc-create.  That template seems to be strictly
like-on-like, which is sad.  There is no Arch template in OpenVZ to even
give me a start, so I'm out of luck there.  How do we bootstrap an Arch
system with packman on a system which does not have packman?

Anyone with an Arch container prebuilt template they could share?

Regards,
Mike
