[lxc-users] monitoring containers using lxc-info (without being root)

[Harald Dunkel]

H folks,

I would like to monitor my containers using lxc-info (lxc 1.1.2)
run by an unprivileged user. Problem:

% lxc-info -P /var/lib/lxc -n sample -c lxc.start.auto
Insufficent privileges to control sample
% ls -al /var/lib/lxc/sample 
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 May 11 19:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Aug 14  2014 ..
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 2113 Aug  8  2014 config
drwxr-x--- 25 root root 4096 Oct  8  2014 rootfs
-rw-------  1 root root    0 Mar  2  2013 rootfs.hold

How comes? Looking at the access permissions lxc-info -c lxc.something 
should work. Surely I don't want to "control" the container.


Every helpful comment is highly appreciated
