LXC configuration notes

These are commands I use to manage my minetest container.

Show the config

~$ lxc config show minetest

Specifically show network device config

~$ lxc config device show minetest
mtserv:
  connect: tcp:127.0.0.1:30000
  listen: tcp:192.168.178.31:30000
  type: proxy
mtsudp:
  connect: udp:127.0.0.1:30000
  listen: udp:192.168.178.31:30000
  type: proxy

Change some config

The following reconfigures listening IP/ports of the container, for example.

lxc config device set minetest mtserv listen=tcp:192.168.178.202:30000
lxc config device set minetest mtsudp listen=udp:192.168.178.202:30000
