Where to find the user space bits to use container infrastructure

Where to find the user space bits to use container infrastructure

[Vivek Goyal]

Hi All,

I thought of playing with containers but I can't find any instructions
or any user space bits which tell me how to setup and launch containers.

Any pointers will help...

Thanks
Vivek

If you want to play with network namespaces, you can have a look at the
howto there:
http://lxc.sourceforge.net/network/configuration.php

Also, in the -lxc tarball, there're a bunch of programs to unshare
namespaces (ns_exec):

Tarballs: http://lxc.sourceforge.net/patches/2.6.26/2.6.26-rc8-mm1-lxc1/

See: 
http://lxc.sourceforge.net/patches/2.6.26/2.6.26-rc8-mm1-lxc1/broken-out/utils/

See libvirt's lxc driver  (libvirt.org).
