What are /r/LXD's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you haven't already make sure you look thru the official LXD support site

https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/introduction/

Especially the User forum where the LXD developers answer questions daily

https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/

If you search previous questions on the forum you may find some of yours already answered

The default LXD container today is unprivileged.

Root in an unprivileged container is not root in the host.

As /r/LXD is not a support forum you might want to ask your question on the LXD forum where the devs and experienced users answer Q&A every day.

https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/

There is a good explanation of the difference between Privileged and Unprivileged containers found here:

https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/security/

You should really be using ZFS or BTRFS. For testing purposes I'd use loop file over directory backend.

I'd ask about this on the LXD forum as the developers and others answer Q&A daily there

But include your system info such as kernel version, snapd version, LXD version etc

On my Ubuntu 18.04 systems I use snap and everything works and this is with the newly released LXD v3.0.0 but I'm not running any docker in LXD at the moment

I realize only you'll see this /u/bmullan, but I'm desperate here and have been searching and searching and searching and can't find anything of use ...

I've done this install as also outlined identically here, and I'm getting errors launching instances as I was with DevStack on CentOS (which was part of why I went to Ubuntu + conjure-up) ... everything online is saying "Check the Nova logs", ok, sure - it took some digging, but I finally figured out the address of the Nova container amongst the 18 that have been created ... what I can't find, is the ssh-key I need to use to gain access, and I'm not sure if the OpenStack admin username and password will let me in - I'm guessing not, so I also need to find credentials for that container :-/

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

This is for info only to those that didn't know what Funtoo was (like me).

I did a search and learned it was a Fork of Gentoo linux by one of the original developers of Gentoo.

Converting an OpenVZ container to LXD on Funtoo (or maybe any Linux) is documented in a Guide on the Funtoo website:

https://www.funtoo.org/LXD/OpenVZ_migration

Just clarifying for others...

​

"candicate" is actually "candidate" right?

​

>There is also a snap (https://snapcraft.io/microstack) which allows you to "snap install microstack --classic --candicate" and get a working, single (big!) machine, OpenStack running that uses the Openstack Charms with Juju.

>then specify zp001/lxd when using lxd init

Thanks, was going to ask that next. Do you know if that sets the the zfs.pool_name key, or something else? That's the only key that seems relevant to this setting in the docs, unless I'm missing something.

Late to the party - but I'm sure others will be wondering this and come across this thread. This question was asked in the mailing list

My opinion: a broken update has been pushed to stable before, so if you want perfectly stable, go with LTS as there's less changes in each update.

Stéphane Graber's response was as follows:

https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/news should give you some idea of what's new.

For LXD 2.0.x, we only backport bug and security fixes so you won't be getting new features when staying on the LTS branch (which is precisely what most production environments want).

Going with the latest feature release (LXD 2.8 right now) will get you things like the LXD network management API, attach of GPU and USB devices, recursive file transfers, configurable syscall filtering, PKI mode, PATCH REST operations and a bunch of extra configuration options.

Both the latest LTS release and the latest stable release are actively supported by upstream LXD, so pick whichever works best for you.

Note that we push new feature releases about once a month and don't support previous ones, so if you go with those, you'll be asked to upgrade to the latest should you ever file a bug report.

You can get an idea of the number and type of available LXD images by going to the online LXD tool:

https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/try-it/

once logged into a command prompt execute:

lxc image list images: | more

R-HUB is a commercial product & costs $395 ?? and thats just the "starting" price.
