NAME
       lxc-start-ephemeral - start an ephemeral copy of an existing container


SYNOPSIS
       lxc-start-ephemeral [-o] [-n] [-d] [--bdir] [--user] [--key] [--storage-type] [--union-type] [--keep-
                           data] [COMMAND]


DESCRIPTION
       lxc-start-ephemeral start an ephemeral copy of an existing container.


OPTIONS
       -o, --orig orig
              Original container name

       -n, --name name
              Name of the ephemeral container (defaults to a random suffix).

       -d, --daemon
              Start the container in background and print the name and IP.  This  option  can't  be  used  if  a
              command is passed.

       -b, --bdir bdir
              Directory to bind mount into container.  Can be passed multiple times.

       -u, --user user
              The user to connect to the container as.  Used when passing a command to lxc-start-ephemeral.

       -S, --key key
              Copy the provided SSH public key into the container.

       -s, --storage-type storage type
              Specify the type of storage used by the container. Valid types are tmpfs or dir.

       -U, --union-type union type
              Force a specific union file system.  Can be one of: overlayfs aufs

       -k, --keep-data
              Use  a  persistent backend instead of tmpfs.  With this option, you can lxc-stop and lxc-start the
              no longer so ephemeral container (it's still an overlay, but a persistent one).

       COMMAND
              Immediately run the provided command in the container.  This uses attach if  the  kernel  supports
              it, otherwise uses ssh.  This is incompatible with daemon mode.


SEE ALSO

EXAMPLES
       lxc-start-ephemeral -o p1
              Simply  start  an  ephemeral container and attach to the console.  This container will be based on
              existing container "p1".

       lxc-start-ephemeral -o p1 -n p1-ephemeral -d
              Start an ephemeral container based on p1 called p1-ephemeral and print its  IP  and  name  to  the
              console instead of attaching.


NOTES
       lxc-start-ephemeral is deprecated in favor of lxc-copy.
