          - If you clone a container using I(clone_name) the newly cloned
            container created in a stopped state.

          - A list of C(key=value) options to use when configuring a container.
        type: list
        elements: str
requirements:
  - 'lxc >= 2.0 # OS package'
  - 'python3 >= 3.5 # OS Package'
  - 'python3-lxc # OS Package'
notes:
  - Containers must have a unique name. If you attempt to create a container
    with a name that already exists in the users namespace the module will
    simply return as "unchanged".
  - The "container_command" can be used with any state except "absent". If
    used with state "stopped" the container will be "started", the command
    executed, and then the container "stopped" again. Likewise if the state
    is "stopped" and the container does not exist it will be first created,
    "started", the command executed, and then "stopped". If you use a "|"
    in the variable you can use common script formatting within the variable
    itself The "container_command" option will always execute as BASH.
    When using "container_command" a log file is created in the /tmp/ directory
    which contains both stdout and stderr of any command executed.
  - If "archive" is **true** the system will attempt to create a compressed
    tarball of the running container. The "archive" option supports LVM backed
    containers and will create a snapshot of the running container when
    creating the archive.
  - If your distro does not have a package for C(python3-lxc), which is a
    requirement for this module, it can be installed from source at
    U(https://github.com/lxc/python3-lxc) or installed via pip using the
    package name C(lxc).
