TL;dr: For Ubuntu 16.04 users who have lxd-2.0.9 from xenial-updates, what is the fast path towards simple lxd container-on-the-lan happiness? (Extra credit: allow ssh between the host and the guest, also part of Things Just Working.)
Long version: The issue https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/1294 was closed, but as far as I can tell, is still valid: lxc users don't care about bridges, they just Want Things To Work. And so the tutorials for setting up lxd containers that act like they're on the LAN, e.g. https://www.stgraber.org/2016/10/27/network-management-with-lxd-2-3/ https://www.simpleprecision.com/ubuntu-16-04-lxd-networking-simple-bridge/ leave them cold, leading to questions like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41826430/how-to-setup-lxd-containers-that-communicate-over-the-lan Note the length of the answer. Users who Just Want Things To Work don't want to have to learn about bridges. I know, it's their loss, but that's the way it is. This hinders adoption. (Docker probably has similar problems, but has wrappers like weave, pipework, flannel, and socketplane to smooth things over for users, I hear.) _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
