No, this will not work because lxc-create needs root privileges for a variety
of things. You'll need to have user_ns enabled in the kernel to accomplish this
as a normal user. Note, that docker is not much better, it's just uses a
privileged daemon to do things.
IIRC, currently running lxc-* as a normal user will work out-of-the-box only on
an Ubuntu 14.04 host.
