<p>Edlerd: </p> <hr /> <div>= Introduction =<br /> [https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/latest/ LXD] is a next generation system container manager. It offers a user experience similar to virtual machines but using Linux containers instead. <br /> It allows an easier management and deployment of [[LXC]] containers. <br /> <br /> First, [[Repositories#Enabling_the_community_repository|enable the community repository]].<br /> <br /> Then, install the lxd and dbus packages (dbus is needed for some containers as they refuse to start if unavailable)<br /> <br /> apk add lxd lxd-client lxcfs dbus<br /> <br /> Set some options to be able to run the containers as unprivileged:<br /> <br /> echo &quot;session optional pam_cgfs.so -c freezer,memory,name=systemd,unified&quot; &gt;&gt; /etc/pam.d/system-login<br /> echo &quot;lxc.idmap = u 0 100000 65536&quot; &gt;&gt; /etc/lxc/default.conf<br /> echo &quot;lxc.idmap = g 0 100000 65536&quot; &gt;&gt; /etc/lxc/default.conf<br /> echo &quot;root:100000:65536&quot; &gt;&gt; /etc/subuid<br /> echo &quot;root:100000:65536&quot; &gt;&gt; /etc/subgid<br /> <br /> If you plan to run systemd based Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.), add this to /etc/conf.d/lxc:<br /> <br /> systemd_container=yes<br /> <br /> and enable both lxc and lxd to start at boot:<br /> <br /> rc-update add lxc<br /> rc-update add lxd<br /> rc-update add lxcfs<br /> <br /> If you have problems, try to enable dbus:<br /> <br /> rc-update add dbus<br /> <br /> Reboot and lxd should be working.</div>
