use a default per-container logfile · 74476cf1Serge Hallyn authored
[ Thanks to Stéphane and Dwight for the feedback on the previous patch ] Until now, if a lxc-* (i.e. lxc-start) command did not specify a logfile (with -o logfile), the default was effectively 'none'. With this patch, the default becomes $LOGPATH/<container>/<container>.log. LOGPATH is specified at configure time with '--with-log-path='. If unspecified, it is $LXCPATH, so that logs for container r2 will show up at /var/lib/lxc/r2/r2/log. LOGPATH must exist, while lxc will make sure to create $LOGPATH/<name>. As another example, Ubuntu will likely specify --with-log-path=/var/log/lxc (and place /var/log/lxc into debian/lxc.dirs), placing r2's logs in /var/log/lxc/r2/r2.log. If a container config file specifies 'lxc.logfile', that will override the default. If a '-o logfile' argument is specifed at lxc-start, then that will override both the default and the configuration file entry. Finally, '-o none' can be used to avoid having a logfile at all (in other words, the previous default), and that will override a lxc.logfile entry in the container configuration file. Signed-off-by:
