Run multiple instances of SocialVPN in one VM with LXC

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

1. Download our pre-made script

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

2. 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 &'

3. Check to see if containers are running

   ps aux | grep lxc-start

4. Get console access to container1 (username : ubuntu, password : ubuntu)

   sudo lxc-console -n container1

5. 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

6. You can exit out of a container with Ctrl-a,q then shutdown the container

   sudo lxc-shutdown -n container1
