[Lxc-users] [Spam-Wahrscheinlichkeit=87] Restarting LXC containers after power failure

[Jäkel, Guido]

Dear David,

this will require to persist the current "power state" of a container by some kind of marker.  A tricky way is to mark some container-related file, e.g. to ("miss"-) use the sticky bit of the containers lxc configuration file or to put some marker file into the containers rootfs.

This will allow to write an init script that will scan for such a marker and (re)start the corresponding container. Using LXC's startup/shutdown hook scripts, you may event set such a marker automagical and especially to remove it on a regular shutdown.
