I spoke to soon.

While it seems to work fine (including installing and restarting rsyslog)
on first launch, a restart broke everything. Short version: you need to
upgrade systemd, e.g. using stretch repo:
https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/1911#issuecomment-212366453

The exact steps would vary depend on whether you use lxc or lxd, and
privileged or unprivileged. If you use privileged, it should be as simple
as running chroot and apt.

How are you installing it? Just tested with lxd, it works fine.

My GUESS is that you're probably using lxc (not lxd), with debian template,
and do some local changes? I suggest you try these one by one, to determine
where your problem is:

(1) install lxd, and run a debian container

lxc launch images:debian/jessie/amd64 jessie
lxc exec jessie bash

(2) install privileged (i.e. as root) debian lxc container, using download
template

(3) repeat whatever you tested and didn't work.

My guess is (1) and (2) will also work on your system. If you still have
problems with (3), then more details would be useful:
- is it privileged or unprivileged?
- did you try download template
- what errors do you find (e.g. does "systemctl" on the container simply
hang? does "systemctl status" show anything unusual?)

There is absolutely no problem with that, these systems are nearly identical.

Re: [lxc-users] Debian 8 container on Ubuntu 16.04 host

2016-12-15 Thread William Cooley 

 I am trying to install a Debian 8 container on a Ubuntu 16.04 host.
 The Ubuntu host is running lxc version 2.0.8 from the default ubuntu 
repo and  Kernel 4.4.0-53-generic #74-Ubuntu.


 I'm using the default Debian jessie image from the images repo. 
systemd is not working correctly inside of the container and I am not 
able to do things like restart a service.


 Has anyone here tried running a Debian 8 container on a Ubuntu 16.04 
host and had success with making systemd work properly?


 Help would be greatly appreciated

 William
