[lxc-users] Installing packages in a container while boot up or via script?

[Bostjan Skufca]

If I want to do something like that (i.e. when bootstrapping custom linux
system as LXC guest), I just chroot into newly-created container root and
do the "apt-get install ...".

This method uses host's network connection, but it requires container's
/etc/resolv.conf correctly configured. Also, if you are using subuid/gids,
pay attention when you do this procedure (generally before uidmapshift
step).
