I‘m using Debian Linux server with Linux Containers (lxc). How do I disconnect and exit from an lxc-console to a shell prompt without closing ssh session?

You need to use the lxc-console command to log in to a running Linux container. The syntax is as follows:

lxc-console -n container-name
lxc-console -n webserver
lxc-console -n pgsql

To exit an lxc-console from a shell prompt:

1. Open a shell prompt.
2. Login to a host server called server1.
3. Use the lxc-console command to log in to a running container called ‘memcache’ type: lxc-console -n memcache
4. To exit an lxc-console session, type Ctrl-A followed by Q.

Here is a sample session:
