Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • how do you update apps running on lxc? On docker it is a single command to update all images.
  • running out of disk space and ram on all my VMs. Thinking I might start moving to LXCs but management of them is new and foreign to me :(
  • Only time I had issues was with a NFS share mounted directly on the LXC. If I rebooted my NAS... it would mess up the LXC
  • Had to do this just to avoid ID Mapping issues.
