NAME¶
lxc-start - run an application inside a container.
SYNOPSIS¶
lxc-start -n name [-f config_file] [-c
console_file] [-d] [-s KEY=VAL] [command]
DESCRIPTION¶
lxc-start runs the specified
command inside the container
specified by
name.
It will setup the container according to the configuration previously defined
with the lxc-create command or with the configuration file parameter. If no
configuration is defined, the default isolation is used.
The orphan process group and daemon are not supported by this command, use the
lxc-execute command instead.
If no command is specified,
lxc-start will use the default
"/sbin/init" command to run a system container.
OPTIONS¶
- -d, --daemon
- Run the container as a daemon. As the container has no more
tty, if an error occurs nothing will be displayed, the log file can be
used to check the error.
- -f, --rcfile config_file
- Specify the configuration file to configure the
virtualization and isolation functionalities for the container.
This configuration file if present will be used even if there is already a
configuration file present in the previously created container (via
lxc-create).
- -c, --console console_file
- Specify a file to output the container console. If the
option is not specified the output will go the terminal except if the
-d is specified.
- -s, --define KEY=VAL
- Assign value VAL to configuration variable
KEY. This overrides any assignment done in config_file.
COMMON OPTIONS¶
These options are common to most of lxc commands.
- -?, -h, --help
- Print a longer usage message than normal.
- --usage
- Give the usage message
- -q, --quiet
- mute on
- -o, --logfile=FILE
- Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no
log.
- -l, --logpriority=LEVEL
- Set log priority to LEVEL. The default log priority
is ERROR. Possible values are : FATAL, CRIT, WARN, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO,
DEBUG.
Note that this option is setting the priority of the events log in the
alternate log file. It do not have effect on the ERROR events log on
stderr.
- -n, --name=NAME
- Use container identifier NAME. The container
identifier format is an alphanumeric string.
DIAGNOSTIC¶

- The specified container is already running an application.
You should stop it before reuse this container or create a new one.
