[lxc-users] lxc-create through socks proxy

[Julien]

Hi,

I fail to lxc-create containers with the download template through a 
SOCKS proxy.

I usually use tsocks to provide socks support to my application.
tsocks uses the LD_PRELOAD trick to provide socks support to application 
that do not natively support it.
lxc-create might not like it.

I get these errors :

$ tsocks lxc-create -t download -n trusty2

Setting up the GPG keyring

And then it hangs at that point.
Any advice on how to run lxc-create through a SOCKS proxy ?

By chance, I manage to create them by setting the http_proxy env var, 
but I would prefer to use a socks proxy.

Thanks,
Julien
