[lxc-users] Setting up LXC on Ubuntu 14.04

[Kevin LaTona]

Ranjib,


Thanks for your ideas and yes I think it would be great if at some point there was "trusted" source of the latest info on LXC to help folks out.

I've looked at Stephan's blog post and like so many other blog post there is tons of really good information in it.

But there lays the rub for me.

In that there are so many subtle different ways to tweak the setup, that it gets to be a huge jigsaw puzzle and really easy to get stuck without knowing 100% why.

-Kevin

> lxc on ubuntu 14.04 works awesome straight out of the box. Only for unprivileged container you have to add a single config file in ~/.config/lxc/default.conf, and rest everything works awesome. I am running it for various use cases now, i generally use it along side chef (to control the host machine), and can point you to those if need be.
