LXC cheatsheet

# The best distro for LXC right now is ubuntu since you'll have almost no config to get LXC networking working
# All LXC commands have to be run as root (or sudo)

# 1. DO IT once on the host

# 1.1 install lxc
apt-get install lxc

# 1.2 enable nat on iptables
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# 2. DO IT for every project you want a container for

# 2.1
lxc-create -t download -n my_project

# 2.2 if you want to share project's source (or maybe logs folder) with the host, sourceedit /var/lib/lxc/my_project/config and add the following
lxc.mount.entry = /home/user/Workspace/my_project my_project none default,bind 0 0

# 2.3 if you want to make available throught the host, execute the following (adapt the IP and PORT) and persist it!
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport {PORT} -j DNAT --to {IP}:{PORT}

# 3. DO IT every time you want

# 3.1 start your container
lxc-start -n my_project

# 3.2 if you need a shell, attach to the container
lxc-attach -n my_project

# 3.3 stop the container once you're done
lxc-stop -n my_project
