[Lxc-users] Running Stand alone application through Application LXC

I think you want lightweight containers where /lib, /usr etc are
readonly-bindmounted from the host into the container (through
/var/lib/lxc/$container/fstab), and /run and /var are private
writeable tmpfs mounts.  If I understand what you're saying...
