# List all the containers virsh -c lxc:/// list # Create the sandbox, all default parameters. Will take dhcp address. virt-sandbox-service create -C --username amitag -u httpd.service httpd_conta # Create the container with static IP. virt-sandbox-service create -C --username amitag -u httpd.service -N \ address=192.168.122.11/24%192.168.122.255 httpd_conta#Enable and start the service. virt-sandbox-service start httpd_conta virt-sandbox-service enable httpd_conta#Delete the container if not required any more. virt-sandbox-service delete httpd_conta
