The point of the LXC is, you get a full blown standalone linux, rather than a single process - this simplifies everything a lot, meaning you don't have to have that much documentation about it in the first place.
- majewsky 10y agoCan you clarify what "full-blown standalone Linux" means? It sounds like running a separate kernel, but since we're talking containers rather than VMs, this can't be it.
- Kubuxu 10y agoIt is shared kernel, separate userspace. It uses: X-namespaces (network, pid, user, ...) and cgroups to separate those userspaces from each other. I have community server running debian in which there are 10+ LXC containers running in which people are given normal root access, one container per user.
- majewsky 10y agoSo it's the same as with Docker.
