[lxc-users] Running unprotected system container

[Saint Michael]

In my case, I load a kernel module for a specific business app that
requires this.
I have been loading at the host, but that makes my container not 100%
movable between hosts.
So how do I configure a container with as many rights as possible, a
"virtual" host if I may say so?
