I have some issues trying to start an unprivileged LXC container in my machine.

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:    14.04
Codename:   trusty

$ uname -a
Linux e2180 3.19.0-30-generic #34~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 2 22:10:15 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

I've put this in my user's cron using crontab -e:

@reboot lxc-start --daemon --name apache --logfile=/tmp/lxc-apache.log --logpriority=DEBUG

Then, I rebooted my machine, and I got this on /tmp/lxc-apache.log:

However, If I login and then run exactly the same command:

$ lxc-start --daemon --name apache --logfile=/tmp/lxc-apache.log --logpriority=DEBUG

Then my container starts successfully:

What should I do to make my unprivileged containers starts at boot on my machine? Please note that this issue is just with containers on boot; if I login, all my unprivileged containers works as expected.

Just in case anyone else could have the same problem, my solution:

Seems that cron doesn't use a complete shell login, with all variables set, among them the cgroup related environment. So, when cron tries to start the containers, it fails.

The only thing I could find to solve my problem is to ssh into the same machine, and then start the containers. Something like this:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
$ ssh-copy-id localhost

Afther that, I put in my crontab:

@reboot sleep 5 && ssh -l eduar localhost lxc-autostart
