How did you create the container? which distro/version?

At least in ubuntu, the generated mac should be created and stored in
config file without you having to edit anything.

If you DON'T see the lines in your config file, IIRC that means a new mac
will be generated everytime the container boots. The only way to know its
mac is by booting the container.
