6 The container technology is actively being pushed into the mainstream linux
7 kernel. It provides the resource management through the control groups aka
8 process containers and resource isolation through the namespaces.
10 The linux containers, lxc, aims to use these new functionnalities to pro-
11 vide an userspace container object which provides full resource isolation
12 and resource control for an applications or a system.
14 The first objective of this project is to make the life easier for the ker-
15 nel developers involved in the containers project and especially to con-
16 tinue working on the Checkpoint/Restart new features. The lxc is small
17 enough to easily manage a container with simple command lines and complete
18 enough to be used for other purposes.
22 Refer the lxc* man pages (generated from doc/* files)
24 Downloading the current source code:
26 Source for the latest released version can always be downloaded from
27 http://lxc.sourceforge.net/download/lxc
29 You can browse the up to the minute source code and change history online.
30 http://lxc.git.sourceforge.net
32 For detailed build instruction refer to INSTALL and man lxc man page
33 but a short command line should work:
34 ./configure && make && sudo make install && sudo lxc-setcap
35 preceded by ./autogen.sh if configure do not exist yet.
39 when you find you need help, you can check out one of the two
40 lxc mailing list archives and register if interested:
41 https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-devel
42 https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-users
46 lxc is still in development, so the command syntax and the API can
47 change. The version 1.0.0 will be the frozen version.
49 lxc is developed and tested on Linux since kernel mainline version 2.6.27
50 (without network) and 2.6.29 with network isolation.
51 is compiled with gcc, and supports i686, x86_64, ppc, ppc64, S390 archi.
