Re: [lxc-users] Clarification

That's correct. LXC and LXD are not a hypervisor; the container runs user-space code on the same kernel as the host kernel. Windows has its own separate kernel and its userspace is incapable of running on the Linux kernel for many reasons (different executable format, different kernel ABI/API,

[lxc-users] Issue upgrading from LXD apt to snap

Hi, I'm on Ubuntu 16.04; the last working version of LXD I had was 2.21 from backports. I wanted to upgrade to 3.0 but it isn't in the backports repo yet, it seems, so I went ahead and installed the snap. Then I removed the original package, perhaps not realizing until it was too late that I

I'm sure stgraber will weigh in to provide the details of the project's long-term plans, but here are a few things to think about meanwhile: 1. It looks like they're preparing for LXD 3.0. This hasn't taken the shape of any stable releases since December, true, but there are frequent beta

Firefox is one of those web browsers that conventionally requires an X server to be running for it to execute. This might tempt you to want to start up a *physical* Xorg server backed by real graphics hardware, but that's very wasteful of resources, unless you want to look at / interact with the

Re: [lxc-users] does running NTP in an LXC improve security?

First of all, an "unprivileged" container is still pretty insecure if you don't have a proper Linux Security Module (LSM) enforcing Mandatory Access Control to restrict what the container can do. LXD takes a decent stab at integrating the AppArmor LSM and applies it pretty well to secure and

Re: [lxc-users] basic understanding - clarification sought

LXD and LXC are basically separate, from a user's point of view. the `lxc` command is actually LXD. `lxc` followed by a dash, like `lxc-ls` is LXC. These are sometimes referred to (e.g. in Ubuntu packaging) as lxc-1.0 (lxc-ls, etc.) and lxc-2.0 (LXD). LXC containers are not too different from

Firstly you will need to decide whether you want to use lxc, or lxd. There is no such thing as "lxd/lxc" as the two tools are completely separate, pretty different in behavior, and the interface for interacting with them is completely different. However, in the general case of any arbitrary

First of all, there's no such thing as LX[C|D]. You're either using LXC or LXD. They're different enough in their configuration and operation that you can't ask an "either-or" question. Pick one solution and focus on that. I just wanted to chime in to say that I have this same question. I'm stuck
