Simple wrapper for basic LXC operations. Does not add any functionality, it just makes it faster to manage LXC containers by providing shorter commands and bundling commonly used combination of commands.

lxw.sh

#!/bin/bash

container='ubuntu'
cmd="${1:-run}"
bold=$(tput bold)
normal=$(tput sgr0)

if (( $EUID != 0 )); then
    sudo "$(realpath $0)" "$@" 
    exit $? 
fi

case $cmd in
    run )
        lxc-start -n $container
        lxc-console -n $container -t 0 ;;
    start )
        lxc-start -n $container ;;
    stop )
        lxc-stop $container ;;
    console )
        lxc-console -n $container -t 0 ;;
    attach )
        lxc-attach $container ;;
    help )
        printf '%b\n' \

you can change the container variable in the script to match the name of your desired container." ;;
