Tips on LXD

Things on this page are fragmentary and immature notes/thoughts of the author. Please read with your own judgement!

LXD only works in Linux. It is not supported on macOS or Windows.
LXD does not require a CPU which supports virtualization.
Docker is a more user-friendly alternative to LXD containers and multipass is a more user-friendly alternative to LXD virtual machines. It is suggested that you use Docker/multipass instead of LXD.

gpasswd -a `id -un` lxd
newgrp lxd
