Container's filesystem root location: /var/lib/lxc/<container name>
Container creation scripts/templates for given distro: /usr/share/lxc/templates

To verify if LXC is supported on current OS/kernel run: lxc-checkconfig

Debian may have some issues with memory control via cgroups.
Check kernel support: cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_MEMCG
If output contains both CONFIG_MEMCG=y and CONFIG_MEMCG_DISABLED=y means that memory cgroups must be explicitly enabled by kernel parameter (cgroup_enable=memory)

Networking

Described in configuration file lxc-create -f <config_file>
Create bridge interface on host OS and link to container:

lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = br0

lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = br1

lxc.network.type = empty

For "isolated" bridge interface for containers, configure lxc-net.
