Description Joachim Herb 2018-05-05 23:09:56 UTC

The config files for containers (of a certain distribution) are missing after an upgrade von lxc-2.x.x to lxc-3.0.0, e.g. /usr/share/lxc/config/debian.common.conf

Upstream these configs (and templates) have been moved into a separate github repository:
https://github.com/lxc/lxc-templates

There is a release at https://github.com/lxc/lxc-templates/archive/lxc-templates-3.0.0.tar.gz

It can be build/installed with:
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/
make
make isntall

Comment 1 Joachim Herb 2018-05-05 23:19:20 UTC

And even after installing this package, the files common.conf and userns.conf are missing.

Comment 2 Joachim Herb 2018-05-05 23:23:32 UTC

Ok, these files (common.conf and userns.conf) are part the lxc-package.

    app-emulation/lxc: add templates USE flag
    
    Since v3.0, LXC bundles old style templates separately. This USE flags
    brings back the old behavior of installing templates by default.
