How to add CTID to CT bash prompt?

[kamzata]

I'd like to add the CTID on the Container bash prompt. How can I achive this? Something like:

[CTID 100 /home ] : _

Hi,
you can achieve this by modifying the PS1 variable in the .bashrc, see here for examples https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash/Prompt_customization

Thanks, but how can I print the CTID from inside the Container?

Ah you want some form of automated procedure, sorry for the misunderstanding. The easiest way is obviously adding the id on creation to the hostname or leaving it blank which defaults to the CTID. Otherwise there is no straight forward way to get the CTID from within the CT.

I thought there were a variable of something like that in order to get it. So is there nothing to do?

Not out of the box. This is an information the container normally does not need/should know about. Changing/not setting the hostname is your best shot afaik.
