==========
Usually in our development cycle, we edit the sources and run some test and/or
builds by using ``make`` :ref:`[ref] <makefile>` before we commit. This cycle
is simple and perfect but might fail in some aspects we should not overlook.
Most often in our development cycle, we edit the sources and run some test
and/or builds by using ``make`` :ref:`[ref] <makefile>` before we commit. This
cycle is simple and perfect but might fail in some aspects we should not
overlook.
**The environment in which we run all our development processes matters!**
The :ref:`makefile` and the :ref:`make install` encapsulate a lot for us, but
they do not have access to all prerequisites. For example, there may have
dependencies on packages that are installed on the developer's desktop, but
these tools do not have access to all prerequisites. For example, there may
have dependencies on packages that are installed on developer's desktop, but
usually are not preinstalled on a server or client system. Another example is;
settings have been made to the software on developer's desktop that would never
be set on a *production* system.
**Linux Containers are isolate environments and not to mix up all the
prerequisites from various projects on developer's desktop is always a good
choice.**

The intention of the *SearXNG LXC suite* is to build up a suite of containers
for development tasks or :ref:`buildhosts <Setup SearXNG buildhost>` with a very

As shown above there are images and containers build up on this images. To show
more info about the containers in the *SearXNG LXC suite* call ``show suite``.
If this is the first time you make use of the SearXNG LXC suite, no containers
are installed and the output is::

If you do not want to run a command or a build in all containers, **you can

*archlinux* image::
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh build searxng-archlinux

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:

------------
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).
