how to mount a folder from lxc

Question

I have the lxc, it has a running application. To edit the code of this application on own computer(Ubuntu 13.10), I want to mount a directory lxc. How can this be done?

for example

/var/lib/lxc/ubuntu_12_04/rootfs/home/

mounted in /mnt/lxc

Answer 1

If you want to mount automatically a directory inside the lxc each time you start the lxc you can use the lxc.mount.entry directory inside /var/lib/lxc/ubuntu_12_04/config file. With Something like:

lxc.mount.entry = /mnt/lxc home/ none bind 0 0

This will mount /mnt/lxc inside the lxc root filesystem aka rootfs at home/ directory.
