<p dir="ltr">Unprivileged containers are indeed possible on Debian.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You need to set unprivileged_userns_clone </p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, if I recall the download template may only support wheezy.</p>

I'm struggling to create an unprivileged Jessie container on a Jessie<br>
host. I came across this chart:<br>
<a href="https://www.flockport.com/lxc-and-lxd-support-across-distributions/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.flockport.com/lxc-and-lxd-support-across-distributions/</a>,<br>
which points out that unprivileged containers are currently not<br>
supported on Debian Jessie.<br>
<br>
Can someone tell me if this information is up-to-date? Is my struggle<br>
to get this working futile?<br>
<br>
If there is a way (Several mailinglist-posts suggest so) - I'm not<br>
even able to create the container, as an unprivileged user the<br>
template is not available:<br>
<br>
~$ lxc-create -n my-container -t debian -- -r jessie<br>
This template can't be used for unprivileged containers.<br>
You may want to try the "download" template instead.<br>
lxc_container: container creation template for my-container failed<br>
lxc_container: Error creating container my-container<br>

Creating a privileged Jessie container is not an issue. Thanks for any hints.<br>
