Building and running lxcfs from git¶

LXCFS is meant to be run once per host system at /var/lib/lxcfs.

Building lxcfs requires the following libraries and development headers:

• libcgmanager-dev
• libnih-dbus-dev
• libnih-dev
• libfuse-dev

Then to build and run it from the git repository, do:

git clone git://github.com/lxc/lxcfs
cd lxcfs
./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/lxcfs
sudo ./lxcfs -s -f -o allow_other /var/lib/lxcfs/

And that's it, you'll have lxcfs mounted on top of /var/lib/lxcfs/.
