The unreasonable effectiveness of lxc containers

github.com

Does anyone else use lxc? With networking bridged to my local network, I find it a great way to spin up small and disposable dev environments for one-off things and testing.

I've been using this little bash script for awhile and decided to throw it up on github - incredibly handy to have a bare ubuntu server install in 30s whenever I need.

I use to use lxc to save resources for low usage web servers for a small office. Now I just use vm's and use tools to automate cpu/mem resources. Less administration.

Virt-manager is pretty nifty tool to manage lxc
