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/.
