I agree documentation is skimpy and hard to come by for LXC on any linux. I've been working the last couple weeks to learn lxc on ubuntu and here are some good web blogs/sites for information, scripts and tools:
Arkose- is a python app...
This tool has a Ubuntu PPA and is built by Stephane Graber.
This article is 3 years old but gives you an idea of Arkose
another from Stephane's blog on LXC activities
ActiveState's blog on LXC using Ubuntu on EC2
ActiveState's writeup of how to configure LXC in Ubuntu on Amazon's EC2
Script to automate LXC use on Ubuntu
The following Blog includes a great script that does all of the LXC configuration for you. All you do is answer 3 questions - name of container, root/sudo user, location for containter
Philipp Klaus's Computing Blog
the script he built can be found here...
In the last 2 weeks I've tried them all and they all work well. ActiveState's includes private DNS which was cool and the fact that it configured LXC containers on one of my AWS EC2 instances was great.
Stephane Graber's Arkose tool is actually very interesting because it also supports creating containers for just single application launching (read his blog on launching the eyes app or gedit).
