Improve LXC container build times #24

Closed lae closed 6 years ago

lae commented 6 years ago

This mainly improves build times for users starting multiple containers per profile instead of the default single container by reducing the amount of network traffic and other intensive tasks during bootstrap/package installation.

An unexpected benefit is that we also save a ton of disk space by switching over to OverlayFS.
