Yeah, I wish I realized that before setting up everything :\ I agree with the central configuration thing, it reduces the portability too at first glance. However not sure if it should be considered as a deficiency... lxd is designed this way and instead of manually doing things (copying etc.) it provides tools for it which attracted me in the first place. I can do what lxd does with lxc-* commands already but lxd is much easier to use and gives the feeling of vagrant and docker. There is lxc copy and move and I bet (or hope?) there will be some export or backup command in the future... The configurations are kept in sqlite (/var/lib/lxd/lxd.db) so extracting the config should not be that hard (hope again :) )
The problem that hit me is lxd is apparently is not mature enough and the announcement that ubuntu made and advertised misleaded me since I'm a developer and not following server technologies closely. For the auto-startup issue I ended up with writing a systemd job for startup and I guess I'll need smt. else for a clean shutdown too... I have atlassian products (jira & stash) running inside the container and they are not starting for some reason...
