As always complex doesn't automatically translate to complicated ;) In this particular case I had no issues with following the instructions I found on docker. While when spending the same amount of time on getting lxc to work I get stuck almost immediately: ~~~~ % lxc-create -n test -t archlinux lxc_container: No mapping for container root lxc_container: Error chowning /home/magnus/.local/share/lxc/test/rootfs to container root lxc_container: Error creating backing store type (none) for test lxc_container: Error creating container test ~~~~ And quick googling didn't turn up anything useful. Reading through the Linux Containers page [1] didn't help either. /M [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Linux_Containers -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. -- The Peter Principle
