[Bug 1424233] Re: RFE lxc: lxc should do a better jon of housekeeping containers

[Stéphane Graber]

All the LXC commands default to tracking a single lxcpath which is
/var/lib/lxc or whatever you set as lxc.lxcpath in /etc/lxc/lxc.conf

It is actually a feature that LXC will not attempt to keep track of
containers outside that path because that's what we expect other
container managers (like LXD) to do.

There have been talks to support a list of lxc paths separated by a
colon in lxc.lxcpath and as an argument of -P which will allow LXC to
keep track of containers in multiple paths but that's still being
discussed and there are problems with that which still need to be
thought through.


Anyway, all that to say, LXC upstream has absolutely no interest in keeping track of all containers on the system, if the user manually created containers outside of the lxcpath which LXC tracks, we assume they've done so on purpose and so will not interfere.
