The idea is that you have a rootfs already created/extracted into a btrfs subvolume that then gets snapshoted into the container instance each time you do an lxc-create. I think this is similar to the ubuntu-cloud template, but the template doesn't do the fetching and setup of the template rootfs. I can look into setting up the template rootfs from rpms, or an image if that is required, but I think its useful also for the template rootfs to be user specifiable as well. How do you handle for example if you want one template rootfs to be a webserver, and another one for a database? Do you intend for that to be done post lxc-create with some configuration management (ala puppet) tool? It seems like this would work, but would make bigger differences per container instance to the template, so if you plan to instantiate many container instances it could add up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got visibility?
