lxc.conf(5)

NAME
lxc.conf - Configuration files for LXC.

DESCRIPTION
LXC configuration is split in two parts. Container configuration and system configuration.

  CONTAINER CONFIGURATION
The container configuration is held in the \FCconfig\F[] stored in the container's directory.

A basic configuration is generated at container creation time with the default's recommended for the chosen template as well as extra default keys coming from the \FCdefault.conf\F[] file.

That \FCdefault.conf\F[] file is either located at \FC/etc/lxc/default.conf\F[] or for unprivileged containers at \FC~/.config/lxc/default.conf\F[].

Details about the syntax of this file can be found in: lxc.container.conf(5)

  SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The system configuration is located at \FC/etc/lxc/lxc.conf\F[] or \FC~/.config/lxc/lxc.conf\F[] for unprivileged containers.

This configuration file is used to set values such as default lookup paths and storage backend settings for LXC.

Details about the syntax of this file can be found in: lxc.system.conf(5)
