Those who have problem with “lxc-start: no configuration file for ‘/sbin/init’ (may crash the host)”, just add “-f ” to the lxc-start. For example:

lxc-start -n vps101 -l DEBUG -f /var/lib/lxc/vps101/config

@bob marley – On Ubuntu I would use Apparmor (rather then LXC). You would (hard) link the firefox binary to say /usr/local/bin/sandfox , then copy and modify the apparmor profile for firefox for sandfox.

Please consider expanding your tutorial for sandboxie refugees who now use ubuntu. (LXC firefox)

@Adrian

See:

http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html

use

“start on startup”

usually works in LXC (and openvz) VPS

converting images can be a bit of a hassle, sometimes (usually) easier to back up the data and do a fresh install.

Thanks Bodhi, I’ll see what I can do, I need to get them to work for ubuntu as I’m converting existing lucid images to lxc

@Adrian

Then you will have to edit the init scripts. They are in /etc/init.

I am not familiar with them off the top of my head, but Ubuntu is in theory supporting LXC, so if you are not familiar with editing the init scripts then I suggest your next step is to file a bug report on Launchpad.

Along those lines, I find Debian Squeeze is a better option then Ubuntu and is what I use at least in openvz and lxc.

The problem is that apache and webmin doesn’t start on container startup. So each time I have to ssh to the container and start both services manually. I’m not sure what to check to make them start on startup. Thanks for answering

@Adrian Are you having a problem ?

If not, then you do not need to make any edits. If so, then you will need to edit the init scripts.

Hi, I don’t understand this part regarding init scripts: “If they do not either edit the service .conf file (start on startup usually works) or add a line to start them in rc-sysconf”

For example, apache does not create a /etc/init/apache2.conf file to put start on startup. Were should I add the line? and what should that line say? I don’t find a rc-sysconf file :S

I’m using lxc-0.7.5 under ubuntu 10.04 with a lucid container. I’ve left the init scripts as they come by default after creating a container with lxc-lucid.

Thanks for your help
