 # lxc_manager_node
+This has been tested on **clean** install of ubuntu 14.04 64bit.
+
 ## install
+Update you system to the newest packages and reboot. You may need to do this several times:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo reboot
+```
+
+Once there are no more updates, add the `virt` user:
+```bash
+sudo adduser virt
+```
+Make the password something strong, and remember it.
+
+Now you can install the packages we need:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install git nodejs npm lxc
+```
+
+remap `nodejs` to `node`:
+```bash
+sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
+```
+
+And install the node packages:
+```bash
+sudo npm install -g forever
+```
+give the `virt` user network access:
+```bash
+echo "virt veth lxcbr0 1024" | sudo tee -a /etc/lxc/lxc-usernet
+```
+
+lets set up the config file for the `virt` user, first switch users:
+```bash
+su virt
+```
+
+The lines below will add the proper config file:
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.config/lxc
+echo "lxc.id_map = u 0 `grep -oP '^virt:\K\d+' /etc/subuid` `grep -oP '^virt:\d+:\K\d+' /etc/subuid`" > ~/.config/lxc/default.conf
+echo "lxc.id_map = g 0 `grep -oP '^virt:\K\d+' /etc/subgid` `grep -oP '^virt:\d+:\K\d+' /etc/subgid`" >> ~/.config/lxc/default.conf
+echo "lxc.network.type = veth" >> ~/.config/lxc/default.conf
+echo "lxc.network.link = lxcbr0" >> ~/.config/lxc/default.conf
+```
+Its safer at this point to reboot the system, `exit` back to the privlaged user and `reboot`
+
+**SSH or log dercily into the `virt` user!!!** this will not if you use su!
+
+Now you can can create a test container:
+```bash
+lxc-create -t download -n test-ubuntu -- -d ubuntu -r trusty -a amd64
+```
+start and attach the container to make sure everthing is ok:
+```bash
+lxc-start -n test-ubuntu -d
+lxc-attach -n test-ubuntu
+```
+If everything worked you can stop and delete the container
+```bash
+lxc-stop -n u1
+lxc-destroy -n u1
+
+
