I have been experimenting with LXC/LXD on Ubuntu 14.04 and it's all working great. I just need to figure out how to get shared directories working between my host machine and a container so I can ditch Virtualbox once and for all.

I have seen this page: <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LXD>

Which provides instructions, but I just keep getting errors. 

Does anyone know of any simple, clear instructions to get this working? Any help much appreciated.
