$ lxctl --help
or $ lxctl --man
$ lxctl --help Usage: lxctl [action] [vmname] [options] See lxctl --help for more info Options: --help Print a brief help message and exit start Starts container specified in 1st argument Required arguments: vmname - name of the container stop Stops container specified in 1st argument Required arguments: vmname - name of the container create Creates container. Required arguments: vmname - name of the container Optional arguments: --ipaddr - IP address of the machine --mask/netmask - network mask of the machine --defgw - default gateway of the machine --dns - primary DNS server --ostemplate - template name, by default it is 'lucid_amd64' --config - path to configuration file, by default /etc/lxc/ is used --root - path to root file system, by default /var/lxc/ is used --roottype - storage type for root file system. Available values: lvm (default) - create new logical value on default VG file - create disk image on host FS raw - use raw device specified by '--device' option --addpkg - list of additional packages (comma-separated) --pkgopt - list of additional packet manager options (space-separated, but as one argument) --rootsz - size of logical volume for root FS, by default it is 10G --hostname - sets the hostname of the machine, by default is used --searchdomain - set a custom searchdomain in /etc/resolv.conf --macaddr - set the custom mac address of the container --autostart - autostart container each reboot host machine --no-save - do not save yaml config for new container, by default $CONF_PATH/vmname.yaml is used --load - create container from yaml config --debug - show more information about install process --tz - set custom timezone (Europe/Moscow, UTC, etc) --empty - create a clear container for migrate here set Changes container parameters. Required arguments: vmname - name of the container Optional arguments: --rootsz - increment of size of logical volume for root FS --ipaddr - IP address if the machine --mask/netmask - network mask of the machine --defgw - default gateway of the machine --dns - primary DNS server --hostname - sets the hostname of the machine --searchdomain - set a custom searchdomain in /etc/resolv.conf --macaddr - set the custom mac address if the machine --userpasswd user:passwd - sets password for given user --onboot {yes,no} - makes container [do not] start at boot --tz - set custom timezone (Europe/Moscow, UTC, etc) --cpu-shares - sets the CPU share of the container --cpus - sets the CPU cores of the container --mem - sets the memory share of the container (in bytes!) --io - sets the IO share of the container freeze Freezes container Required arguments: vmname - name of the container unfreeze Unfreezes container Required arguments: vmname - name of the container list Lists all containers Optional arguments: --ipaddr - display with IP addr --hostname - display with hostname. --cgroup - display with cgroup --mount - display with mount point for rootfs --diskspace - display with free/full size --all - display all information --raw - display only vmnames migrate Migrate container from localhost to remote host. Required arguments --tohost - to which host we should migrate Optional arguments --remuser - remote username for ssh --remport - remote port for ssh --remname - remote container name --onboot - start on boot? 1 or 0 --userpasswd - 'user:password' formatted password for user --clone - cloning, a little bit faster and softer then simple migration --rootsz - remote root fs size --afterstart - start local container again after migration --cpus - cpus allocated to container --cpu-shares - cpu time share of the container --mem - memory limit of the container --io - IO throughput --ipaddr - IP of the remote container --searchdomain - DNS search domain of the container --netmask - network mask --defgw - default gateway --dns - DNS server backup Create or restore backup container with use remote host. Required arguments for create backup --create - create backup --tohost - remote host for store backup --todir - remote dir for store backup Required arguments for restore backup --restore - restore backup --fromhost - remote host from restore backup --fromdir - remote dir from restore backup Optional arguments --remuser - remote username for ssh --remport - remote port for ssh --remname - remote container name --userpasswd - 'user:password' formatted password for user --afterstart - start local container after restore backup vz2lxc Migrate VZ-container from remote host to local LXC container. Required arguments --fromhost - from which host we should migrate --remname - remote container name Optional arguments --remuser - remote username for ssh --remport - remote port for ssh --onboot - start on boot? 1 or 0 --rootsz - remote root fs size --afterstart - start local container again after migration --cpus - cpus allocated to container --cpu-shares - cpu time share of the container --mem - memory limit of the container --io - IO throughput
