Re: Announce: LXD available as a snap
Fantastic news, I have been craving for this for a while. I need to highlight however that on a all-snap system(tried on a RPi 2) the lxd group cannot be added as /etc/group is ready-only. So lxd does not work there currently. Thanks!

Re: Announce: LXD available as a snap
Thank you Stephane and the LXD team. This is fantastic news for machine container aficionados. Its time to start testing this out :) /Manik On Tue, Oct 11, 2016 at 4:20 PM, Stéphane Graber wrote: > Hello, > > As of a few minutes ago, LXD is now available as a snap in the stable > channel. > This has been confirmed to work on both Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10, provided > that snapd and snap-confine are perfectly up to date. > > If you want to try it, pick a machine that you're NOT using LXD on and do: > - apt remove --purge lxd lxd-client > - groupadd --system lxd > - snap install lxd > - lxd init > - lxd.lxc launch ubuntu:16.04 xenial > > This will remove your existing LXD to prevent any confusion between the > snap and packaged version, will ensure that you have a "lxd" group on > your system and then install LXD.
