Overview
LinuX Containers (LXC) provide lightweight virtualization that lets you isolate processes and resources without the need to provide instruction interpretation mechanisms and other complexities of full virtualization.
User case examples
- Isolate single processes, IE a webserver.
- VPS
Host configuration
kernel requirements
The Linux container capabilities are part of the main stream linux kernel and require kernel version >= 2.6.27
There are no requirements to compile a kernel or apply patches.
User space tools (lxc)
The user space tools, or lxc, are a set of scripts that manage linux containers.
You may install the lxc user space tools from the Ubuntu repositories.
apt-get install lxc
Or download the latest stable package from sourceforge and compile them yourself. The lxc project maintains a git repository for a bleeding edge set of tools.
Networking
There are several networking options available, the consensus appears to be that bridging your network card is the best option. As such I will cover bridging your network card here, hopefully this information can be expanded.
