NAME¶
lxc-create - creates a container
SYNOPSIS¶
lxc-create -n name [-f config_file] [-t
template]
DESCRIPTION¶
lxc-create creates a system object where is stored the configuration
informations and where can be stored user information. The identifier
name is used to specify the container to be used with the different lxc
commands.
The object is a directory created in
${localstatedir}/lib/lxc and
identified by its name.
The object is the definition of the different resources an application can use
or can see. The more the configuration file contains informations, the more
the container is isolated and the more the application is jailed.
If the configuration file
config_file is not specified, the container
will be created with the default isolation: processes, sysv ipc and mount
points.
OPTIONS¶
- -f config_file
- Specify the configuration file to configure the
virtualization and isolation functionalities for the container.
- -t template
- 'template' is the short name of an existing 'lxc-template'
script that is called by lxc-create, eg. busybox, debian, fedora, ubuntu
or sshd. Refer to the examples in /usr/share/lxc/templates for
details of the expected script structure.
DIAGNOSTIC¶
- The container already exists
- As the message mention it, you try to create a container
but there is a container with the same name. You can use the lxc-ls
-l command to list the available containers on the system.
