A container is created from a copy of an existing container. CREATE AND DESTROY lxc_prepare_environment Install LXC dependencies. lxc_container_create `name` Create the `name` container. lxc_container_mount `name` `path` Configure `name` container to bind mount `path` so that it is also accessible at `path` from within the container. lxc_container_start `name` Start the `name` container. lxc_container_stop `name` Stop the `name` container. lxc_container_destroy `name` Call lxc_container_stop `name` and destroy the container. lxc_template_release Echo the name of the container for the Operating System specified with `--os`. lxc_build_template `existing_container` `new_container` Copy `existing_container` into `new_container`. If `existing_container` is equal to $(lxc-helpers.sh lxc_template_release) it will be created on demand. CONFIGURATION The `--config` option provides preset configurations appended to the `/var/lib/lxc/name/config` file when the container is created with the `lxc_container_create` command. They are required to run the corresponding subsystem: * `docker` https://www.docker.com/ * `lxc` https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/ * `libvirt` https://libvirt.org/ * `k8s` https://kubernetes.io/ * `unprivileged` none of the above Example: lxc-helpers.sh --config "docker libvirt" lxc_container_create mycontainer The `unprivileged` configuration does not add anything. ACTIONS IN THE CONTAINER For some command lxc_something `name` that can be called from outside the container there is an equivalent function lxc_something_inside that can be called from inside the container. lxc_install_lxc `name` `prefix` lxc_install_lxc_inside `prefix` Install LXC in the `name` container to allow the creation of named containers. `prefix` is a class C IP prefix from which containers will obtain their IP (for instance 10.40.50). lxc_container_run `name` command [options...] Run the `command` within the `name` container. lxc_container_run_script `name` `path` lxc_container_run_script_as `name` `user` `path` Run the script found at `path` within the `name` container. The environment is cleared before running the script. The first form will run as root, the second form will impersonate `user`. lxc_container_user_install `name` `user_id` `user` [`homedir` default `/home`] Create the `user` with `user_id` in the `name` container with a HOME at `/homedir/user`. Passwordless sudo permissions are granted to `user`. It is made a member of the groups docker, kvm and libvirt if they exist already. A SSH key is created. Example: lxc_container_user_install mycontainer $(id -u) $USER EOF } function main() { local options=$(getopt -o hvoc --long help,verbose,os:,config: -- "$@") [ $? -eq 0 ] || { echo "Incorrect options provided" exit 1 } eval set -- "$options" while true; do case "$1" in -v | --verbose) verbose ;; -h | --help) help ;; -o | --os) LXC_CONTAINER_RELEASE=$2 shift ;; -c | --config) LXC_CONTAINER_CONFIG="$2" shift ;; --) shift break ;; esac shift done lxc_maybe_sudo "$@" } main "$@"
