[SOLVED] LXC prehooks question

[jmeech]

is it possible to pass a script that is running configured to run in the lxc-prehooks line the container id or config file its running from?

ie if i have a /etc/pve/lxc/100.conf does proxmox create any environment variables or whatever i could access so my script knows what lxc container is calling it?

I think that makes sense... hopefully

Hi, I think the LXC hook script can read the VMID from the LXC_NAME environment variable.

Thank you!

I am new to LXC and PVE.

I am trying to pass environment variables to an LXC container, I can do this with Docker.

Is there a way to do that?

It seems you are trying/doing something similar.

not exactly im trying to access the variable by a script thats launched on the host before running the vm,

afaik there is no way to pass variables into the lxc as you would docker, however you could do something like create a bind mount that creates an ENV file inside your container somewhere and use an lxc prehook script to update the contents of that ENV file i suppose
