install lxctl and migrate via lxctl migrate in the future.
In general, sync rootfs, copy the virtual machine config and run it. Everything.

Portability - LXC containers can be zipped up and moved to any other host with the same processor architecture. This works great when your scaling your application, as individual services can be duplicated or moved with ease.

For different architectures, chroot followed by rsync
is recommended. if only as normal servers via remote rsync or equivalents

Hello everybody! and who will tell you where you can see an example of transferring all the happiness from a physical server to lxc? then banal copying to rootfs does not lead to anything good ((((
