How to know who is connected on a container with lxc exec?
as “w” won’t say anything…
Hi!
lxc exec launches a process in a container. Depending on what you are exec-ing, inside the container you would be seeing a process with certain characteristics.
Consider this lxc exec. Here, you specify the UID and GID of the process in the container.
$ lxc exec mycontainer --user 1000 --group 1000 --env HOME=/home/ubuntu/ -- bash
Therefore, your question on whether you can get a hint of the user from the host that has just lxc exec, I think the answer is that you cannot see that from within the container.
