cx is a script wrapper for basic things you want to do with lxc. It has many intentional similarities to the lxd project, but has none of the dependencies.

Most cx commands take extra options that are forwarded to the lxc counterpart. E.g.,

cx start foo -l debug -o /tmp/foo

Calls

lxc-start -n foo -l debug -o /tmp/foo

For systems with Finit, cx automatically creates service .conf for new containers in /etc/finit.d/. Stopping and starting containers can then be done using:

initctl start container:foo
initctl stop  container:foo

This project was once part of myLinux, intended to run small containers built with myRootFS, but it can be used anywhere.
