I guess that's what the local template is meant for. The following command worked for me after building a container image with distrobuilder build-lxc fedora.yaml:

# lxc-create -n f28 -t local -- --metadata meta.tar.xz --fstree rootfs.tar.xz 
Unpacking the rootfs

---
You just created a Fedora container (release=28, arch=x86_64)
# lxc-start -n f28

This seemed to have created:

$ sudo lxc-create  -n a1 -t none -- --metadata meta.tar.xz --rootfs rootfs.tar.xz

The result is:

$ sudo lxc-ls -f
NAME STATE   AUTOSTART GROUPS IPV4 IPV6 UNPRIVILEGED 
a1   STOPPED 0         -      -    -    false

But when starting:

$ sudo lxc-start -F -n a1
lxc-start: a1: conf.c: lxc_setup_dev_console: 1662 No such file or directory - Failed to set mode "0111" to "/dev/pts/2"
lxc-start: a1: conf.c: lxc_setup: 3412 Failed to setup console
lxc-start: a1: start.c: do_start: 1198 Failed to setup container "a1"
lxc-start: a1: sync.c: __sync_wait: 57 An error occurred in another process (expected sequence number 5)
lxc-start: a1: start.c: __lxc_start: 1866 Failed to spawn container "a1"
The container failed to start.
Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

@ganto, correct.

@brauner so the plan is to kill the -t and --metadata once that distrobuilder will be finally being used in LXC, as the yaml files can describe the same configurations that currently reside in metadata.tar.xz?

@marcosps, no that's not the plan. The options will stay for now.
