for development tasks or :ref:`buildhosts <Setup SearXNG buildhost>` with a very

more info about the containers in the *SearXNG LXC suite* call ``show suite``.

are installed and the output is::

Otherwise, to apply a command to all containers you can use::
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh build
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- ls -la .
Running commands
----------------
**Inside containers, you can run scripts** from the :ref:`toolboxing` or run
what ever command you need. By example, to start a bash use::
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searxng-archlinux bash
INFO: [searxng-archlinux] bash
[root@searxng-archlinux SearXNG]#
.. _Good to know:
Good to know
------------
Each container shares the root folder of the repository and the command
``utils/lxc.sh cmd`` **handle relative path names transparent**::
$ pwd
/share/SearXNG
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searxng-archlinux pwd
INFO: [searxng-archlinux] pwd
/share/SearXNG
The path ``/share/SearXNG`` will be different on your HOST system. The commands
in the conatiner are executed by the ``root`` inside of the container. Compare
output of::
$ ls -li Makefile
47712402 -rw-rw-r-- 1 markus markus 2923 Apr 19 13:52 Makefile
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searxng-archlinux ls -li Makefile
INFO: [searxng-archlinux] ls -li Makefile
47712402 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2923 Apr 19 11:52 Makefile
...
Since the path ``/share/SearXNG`` of the HOST system is wrapped into the
container under the same name, the shown ``Makefile`` (inode ``47712402``) in
the ouput is always the identical ``/share/SearXNG/Makefile`` from the HOST
system. In the example shown above the owner of the path in the container is
the ``root`` user of the conatiner (and the timezone in the container is
different to HOST system).
