[lxc-users] Unprivileged containers do not auto-start

By default only containers in /var/lib/lxc are autostarted.  You
could edit /etc/lxc/lxc.conf to change that.  If you're ok with
them only starting on login you might also be able to use a user
upstart session job, but I suspect tying the containers so closely
to your login session won't be what you want.
