These instructions will explain how to run multiple versions of SocialVPN on one VM using LXC.

Download our pre-made script

wget https://github.com/ipop-project/ipop-scripts/raw/master/svpn_lxc.sh

Run the script and wait, the following command will create 5 containers (named container1, container2, ..., container5) each running an instance of socialvpn
```
sudo sh -c "sh svpn_lxc.sh username password host 1 5 30 svpn \
            1> out.log 2> err.log &"
```
Check to see if containers are running
```
ps aux | grep lxc-start
```
Get console access to container1 (username: ubuntu, password: ubuntu)
```
sudo lxc-console -n container1
```

You can check to see if socialvpn is running with the following commands

ps aux | grep svpn-jingle
ps aux | grep controller.py
/sbin/ifconfig
ping 172.31.0.101

You can exit out of a container with ctrl+a, q then shutdown the container
```
sudo lxc-shutdown -n container1
```
