Managing LXC container

Just like a virtual machine you can start/stop it:

1. Start lxc container vm0:

   lxc-start -n vm0 -d
   

2. Login into console:

   lxc1:~# lxc-console -n vm0
   
   Type <Ctrl+a q> to exit the console
   
   Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 vm0 tty1
   
   vm0 login:
   

3. Since ssh server is already installed, you should be fine to login (assuing you have dhcp server running in the network and dynamic dns is configured accordingly):

   ssh vm0
   

4. Shutdown lxc container vm0:

   ssh vm0 halt && lxc-wait -n vm0 -s STOPPED
   

5. Stop lxc container vm0 (this simply kills all processes related to container):

   lxc-stop -n vm0
