Enabling Autologin

[sendmebits]

I saw the pinned post about disabling the auto-login feature here - #324

However, I wanted to 'enable' auto-login, I could not find any posts or discussion here. I was able to find a way to enable it, with the below. Backup your LXC first, this could break things, generally I think you're supposed to avoid editing these files directly.

Edit this file: /lib/systemd/system/container-getty\@.service

Modify the ExecStart line to this:

ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin root --noclear --keep-baud tty%I 115200,38400,9600 $TERM

Autologin will be executed through a LXC cmode setting in a forthcoming release, and once this change becomes effective, it cannot be undone.

I have made the decision to continue making modifications to getty in order to achieve autologin.
