lxcfs

Introduction

FUSE filesystem for LXC, offering the following features:

• a cgroupfs compatible view for unprivileged containers
• a set of cgroup-aware files:
  • cpuinfo
  • meminfo
  • stat
  • uptime

Usage

The recommended command to run lxcfs is:

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/lxcfs
sudo lxcfs -s -f -o allow_other /var/lib/lxcfs

• -s is required to turn off multi-threading as libnih-dbus isn't thread safe.
• -f is to keep lxcfs running in the foreground
• -o allow_other is required to have non-root user be able to access the filesystem
• -d can also be passed in order to debug lxcfs
