LXC is a Linux-based operating system-level virtualization solution that allows users to run multiple isolated Linux containers on a single host system. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install LXC on Kali Linux latest version.
Before we begin, make sure that you meet the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update the system using the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Next, we need to install the LXC package using the following command:
sudo apt install lxc -y
After the installation completes, we can check if LXC is installed successfully by running the command:
lxc-info
The output should show the LXC version number, as well as some other information about the LXC installation.
To create a new LXC container, use the following command:
sudo lxc-create -t download -n CNT_NAME
Replace CNT_NAME with the name of your container. This command will download a new image of the container from the default OS template.
To start the container, use the following command:
sudo lxc-start -n CNT_NAME
Replace CNT_NAME with the name of your container.
To access the LXC container, use the following command:
sudo lxc-console -n CNT_NAME
This will take you to the console of the container.
Congratulations! You have learned how to install LXC on Kali Linux latest version. You can now create and start the LXC container and access it with the console.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
