# lxcfs
+## Introduction
FUSE filesystem for LXC, offering the following features:
- a cgroupfs compatible view for unprivileged containers
- a set of cgroup-aware files:
- stat
- uptime
-### Usage
+In other words, it will provide an emulated `/proc` and `/sys/fs/cgroup` folder for the containers.
+## Usage
The recommended command to run lxcfs is:
- sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/lxcfs
- sudo lxcfs -s -f -d -o allow_other /var/lib/lxcfs
+ sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/lxcfs
+ sudo lxcfs /var/lib/lxcfs
-We recommend -s to avoid threading; -o allow_other is needed to
-allow users other than root to use the filesystem.
+In order to use lxcfs with systemd-based containers, you can either use
+LXC 1.1 in which case it should work automatically, or otherwise, copy
+the `lxc.mount.hook` and `lxc.reboot.hook` files (once built) from this tree to
+`/usr/share/lxcfs`, make sure it is executable, then add the
+following lines to your container configuration:
+```
+lxc.mount.auto = cgroup:mixed
+lxc.autodev = 1
+lxc.kmsg = 0
+lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/common.conf.d/00-lxcfs.conf
+```
