Those are the problems, it looks like your container’s rootfs is missing a dev directory AND also a /sbin/init file.
Hello Stéphan,
My intention is to run the app container not the OS container and I have corrected the above error and struck with the another error

I had deeper look but What I am missing is not know
Looks like /usr/bin/isoinit failed pretty much immediately in this case, no idea why.
This binary is responsible to start the application container using api which is mentioned in your tutorial it seems for me there some issue with application container is there any possibility to check or get more info what went wrong?
What tutorial are you referring to?
Did you create this rootfs or is it a stock container image?
If you created this rootfs, can you describe how you created it?
Hi,
I have followed the tutorial from the below link
https://stgraber.org/2014/02/05/lxc-1-0-scripting-with-the-api/
I have created the roofts container as mentioned in the below steps
1. I have created the folder structure like below
path : /var/lib/lxc/p2/
config
rootfs/
bin/
dev/
etc/
passwd
group
service/
app.service
lib/
mnt/
usr/
bin/
lib/
bin/
lib/
tmp/
2. Copied the simple process (app.out) in usr/bin
3. corresonding libraries is copied in usr/lib and lib.
4. in etc/service the service file is copied to start the app.out.
I have created the apprun process which will start the application container by using the below API
lxcpath = "/var/lib/lxc"
lxcname = "p2"
lxcuser = "p2_user"
argv[0] = "/usr/bin/appinit";
argv[1] = "-u";
argv[2] = lxcuser;
struct lxc_cont *pCont = lxc_container_new(lxcname, lxcpath);
if (pCont == NULL)
{
printf("container faied \n");
return -1;
}
if (pCont->start(pCont, 1, argv) == false)
{
printf("Failed starting container '%s'\n", lxcname);
return -1;
}
I have created the app.service file in native system which will call the apprun.out like below
[Service]
User=lxc_start
Group=lxc_start
Start / Stop the container
ExecStart=/usr/bin/apprun p2 p2_user
I have taken care the update of passwd and group files to add lxc_start and p2 as user and added p2 in lxc_start group.
The apprun runs in native system and appinit is running inside container which will read the servcie files from etc/service and starts the app.out. The apprun and appinit uses the unix socket to exchange data from container to native system by this way I can supervise the application process which runs inside container.
