Hey there,

You should just need to install lxcfs and then any container you start
or restart will be using it. There's no way to set it up against a
running container, but there's also no need to restart all your
containers immediately, you can slowly roll it out if that helps.

And no changes needed to the containers, it gets setup automatically
through a lxc hook when the container starts.
