I have been experimenting with LXC/LXD on Ubuntu 14.04 and it's all working great. I just need to figure out how to get shared directories working between my host machine and a container so I can ditch Virtualbox once and for all.

I have seen this page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LXD

Which provides instructions, but I just keep getting errors.

Does anyone know of any simple, clear instructions to get this working? Any help much appreciated.

Specifically, with the CLI tools- not openstack.

I'm looking at what a local dev setup with lxd might look like but am coming up empty handed when it comes to configuring new containers.

Are there any idiomatic (or otherwise) ways to configure lxd containers? Should I be looking at something more immutable like docker images?

Thanks. Any resources or pointers would be appreciated.

I know, that I can assign static IP manually, using /etc/network/interfaces.

I also know, that I can read the MAC address of the LXC container (e.g. by looking for lxc.network.hwaddr entry in /var/lib/lxc/<container-name>/config and assign the IP based using entries dhcp-host=<mac-addr>,10.0.3.3 in /etc/dnsmasq.d/<some file>.

In the file /etc/default/lxc-net I read 

# Uncomment the next line if you'd like to use a conf-file for the lxcbr0
# dnsmasq.  For instance, you can use 'dhcp-host=mail1,10.0.3.100' to have
# container 'mail1' always get ip address 10.0.3.100.
#LXC_DHCP_CONFILE=/etc/lxc/dnsmasq.conf

That would suit my needs; unfortunately doing so has no effect.

I recently installed the 32 bit lxc container on a 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 system. When I run the command sudo lxc-start -n my32bitbox I am greeted with a login prompt. I enter the default login and password which is: login= ubuntu ; password= ubuntu; but I am still unable to log on to the container. How can I resolve this issue?

I am attempting to install OpenStack DevStack on an LXC guest machine. One of DevStack's packages requires a new kernel module, but when I try to run modprobe on the LXC guest I get an error:

ubuntu@lxc$ sudo modprobe scsi_transport_iscsi
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.2.0-48-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory

How can I install this module for my LXC guest machine?
