Following are notes on creating a container as test driver for Congress. This is based upon an Ubuntu host as installed by JOID.
=== Create and Activate the Container ===
sudo lxc-create -n trusty-copper -t /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-ubuntu -- -b ubuntu ~/opnfv
sudo lxc-start -n trusty-copper -d
sudo lxc-info --name trusty-copper
Name: trusty-copper
State: RUNNING
PID: 4563
IP: 10.0.3.44
CPU use: 28.77 seconds
BlkIO use: 522.79 MiB
Memory use: 559.75 MiB
KMem use: 0 bytes
Link: vethDMFOAN
TX bytes: 2.62 MiB
RX bytes: 88.48 MiB
Total bytes: 91.10 MiB
=== Login and configure the test server ===
ssh ubuntu@10.0.3.44
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
# Install pip
sudo apt-get install python-pip -y
# Install java
sudo apt-get install default-jre -y
# Install other dependencies
sudo apt-get install git gcc python-dev libxml2 libxslt1-dev libzip-dev php5-curl -y

=== Setup the Congress Test Webapp ===
# Clone Copper (if not already cloned in user home)
cd ~/git
if [ ! -d ~/git/copper ]; then git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/copper; fi
# Copy the Apache config
sudo cp ~/git/copper/components/congress/test-webapp/www/ubuntu-apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
# Point proxy.php to the Congress server per your install
sed -i -- "s/192.168.10.117/$CONGRESS_HOST/g" \
~/git/copper/components/congress/test-webapp/www/html/proxy/index.php
# Copy the webapp to the Apache root directory and fix permissions
sudo cp -R ~/git/copper/components/congress/test-webapp/www/html /var/www
sudo chmod 755 /var/www/html -R
# Make webapp log directory and set permissions
mkdir ~/logs
chmod 777 ~/logs
# Restart Apache
sudo service apache2 restart
=== Using the Test Webapp ===
Browse to the trusty-copper server IP address.
Interactive options are meant to be self-explanatory given a basic familiarity with the Congress service and data model. But the app will be developed with additional features and UI elements.
