Updating an LXC (Linux Container) can be done from inside the container itself or from the host system. Here is a simple way to do it:
From Inside the LXC Container:
1. First, you need to start your LXC container. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
\`\`\` sudo lxc-start -n {your\_container} \`\`\` Replace `{your_container}` with the name of your LXC container.1. After that, you need to attach to the running container’s console:
\`\`\` sudo lxc-attach -n {your\_container} \`\`\`1. Once you are inside your container, you can run standard update commands depending on your Linux distribution.
– If you are using a Debian-based distribution like Ubuntu, you can run: \`\`\` sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade \`\`\` – If you are using a Red Hat-based distribution like CentOS, you can run: \`\`\` sudo yum update \`\`\` – If you are using an Arch-based distribution, you can run: \`\`\` sudo pacman -Syu \`\`\`From the LXC Host:
1. Start the LXC container:
\`\`\` sudo lxc-start -n {your\_container} \`\`\`1. Execute the update command from the host:
– For a Debian-based distribution: \`\`\` sudo lxc-attach -n {your\_container} — apt-get update && apt-get upgrade \`\`\` – For a Red Hat-based distribution: \`\`\` sudo lxc-attach -n {your\_container} — yum update \`\`\` – For an Arch-based distribution: \`\`\` sudo lxc-attach -n {your\_container} — pacman -Syu \`\`\`Remember to replace `{your_container}` with the name of your LXC container.
If prompted, confirm the updates by typing `Y` and press `Enter`.
