Container Configuration

The /etc/pve/lxc/<CTID>.conf files stores container configuration, where CTID is the numeric ID of the given container.

Note	IDs ⇐ 100 are reserved for internal purposes.

File Format

The file uses a simple colon separated key/value format. Each line has the following format:

OPTION: value

Blank lines in the file are ignored, and lines starting with a # character are treated as comments and are also ignored.

One can use the pct command to generate and modify those files.

It is also possible to add low-level LXC-style configuration directly, for example:

lxc.init_cmd: /sbin/my_own_init

or

lxc.init_cmd = /sbin/my_own_init

Those settings are directly passed to the LXC low-level tools.
