Since I posted this question I have done this process half a dozen times without too much trouble. I thought I would add some hints from what I've learned in the hope that someone finds them useful:

All you need to do is copy the root file system into the container's rootfs directory (/var/lib/lxc/YOUR_CONTAINER/rootfs/ for disk based backing storage). Exclude /proc, /dev, /sys and /tmp.

Afterwards:

Make fstab empty in the container
Ensure a minimal set of device files under /dev. I copy the device files from a sample container that I created using a template.
If you are going to use lxcbr0 for networking, set the network interface to DHCP in /etc/network/interfaces
If you are going to bridge to a physical interface, set the interface to static or manual. If manual, put the IP address in the container's config. Do not set to DHCP.

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

mrunkel

find -E "." -type f -iregex ".*\.(FLAC)$" |\
  while read full_audio_filepath
  do

    # Break up the full audio filepath stuff into different directory and filename components.
    audio_dirname=$(dirname "${full_audio_filepath}");
    audio_basename=$(basename "${full_audio_filepath}");
    audio_filename="${audio_basename%.*}";
    # audio_extension="${audio_basename##*.}";

 everyone saying that Caddy made it simple for automated LE; I agree, but also, it's not that difficult to setup with NGINX:
Edit /var/nginx/ssl_common.conf
  ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/<site>/fullchain.pem;
  ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/<site>/privkey.pem;
  
  location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
        default_type "text/plain";
        allow all;
        root /var/www/example;
        auth_basic off;

We subscribe to the Git Featrue Branch workflow, briefly described in that link.

In practice, it works as follows:
