Title:
RFE lxc: lxc should do a better jon of housekeeping containers
Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Right now lxc does a pretty poor job wrt. managing containers, i.e.
one needs to know, where containers have been installed to be able to
access/use/manage them (option -P dir) unless they've been installed
in the default location. Even if one knows the install path, it is
still a pain to work with corresponding lxc commands, because one
always needs to specify -P ...
This really sucks (especially if one needs to service foreign
machines).
So the proposal is, that if a zone gets created, lxc puts a symlink to
the related config under /etc/lxc/cfg/ or something like that and all
lxc tools like lxc-ls first check this directory, and if the link
destination exists, it has all information it needs to know., i.e. all
"-P idontknow" madness is not required anymore.
