Vagueant is no longer relevant. I'm keeping this repo up as I think it's an interesting snapshot of what was going on prior to Docker going public.
Vagueant is vaguely like Vagrant for linux containers (lxc). It automates lxc configuration.
The way Vagueant is designed it's currently possible for a vagueant.conf to run arbitrary commands on your parent host system - I do not intend to fix this. I am building Vagueant as a stop gap to bridge the difference in the speed of lxc and usability of Vagrant, hopefully one day Vagrant itself will support lxc.
It's currently only tested under Ubuntu.
To start using it, first install lxc:
apt-get install lxc
To create your first vagueant config, run:
vagueant init
To build a lxc from a vagueant.conf, run:
vagueant up
To connect to the lxc, you can use ssh:
vagueant ssh [-c <command>]
or the console:
vagueant console
