[lxc-users] lxc exec comand, redirecting

[Gregory Lutostanski]

I wrap mine in bash -c 'commands'

So something like:
root at host ~ $ lxc exec container -- bash -c "ssh vps7456.ovh.net 'tar czf -
/var/www/website.com/htdocs' | tar xzpf - -C/"


Will probably work.

Hello lxc-users,

Inside a Linuxcontainer I use:

    root at container ~ $ ssh vps270841.ovh.net tar czf - /var/www/
website.com/htdocs | tar xzpf - -C/

to get a tar archive from another remote server by ssh and extract it
inside the container, works fine.
But how can I achieve the same from the host system? I tried different
things, but no success.

I tried it with:

    root at host ~ $ lxc exec container -- ssh vps7456.ovh.net 'tar czf -
/var/www/website.com/htdocs' | tar xzpf - -C/

but this pipe 'goes' to the host system :( Is there another possibility
with `lxc push -` - or any sugestion from you?

Thank you in advance for any hint.
Ingo Baab
