I'm trying to migrate some lxc containers from lxc 1.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 to lxc 2.0 on Ubuntu 16.04. Our scripts don't ever call lxc-create, but invoke the containers directly with lxc-start and a custom config file:
lxc-start -d --name mongo -f ~/.containers/containers/mongo.conf
This command works just fine on Ubuntu 14.04, but when I run them on 16.04 I get the error message Error: container mongo is not defined.
I could run lxc-create beforehand, but this seems like an unnecessary step, especially since we already have custom filesystems created for all of our containers. Can anyone tell me how to avoid this problem?
