I have installed LXD on stretch following Stéphane <a href="https://stgraber.org/2017/01/18/lxd-on-debian" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://stgraber.org/2017/01/1<wbr>8/lxd-on-debian</a>.<br>
<br>
Fine ! an infinite progress after my successful install of lxc on jessie, it seems to me 20 years ago, following :<br>
<br>
<a href="https://myles.sh/configuring-lxc-unprivileged-containers-in-debian-jessie/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://myles.sh/configuring-l<wbr>xc-unprivileged-containers-in-<wbr>debian-jessie/</a><br>
<br>
<br>
But, this LXD was a trial. I have installed, it works immediately !<br>
<br>
But using all defaults, it is not what I need and I want to reinstall it :<br>
<br>
1-Is there a reference manual about LXD so that I ask for help here after RTFM and not before as now...<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Note that it's MUCH easier to use lxd on ubuntu 16.04, with xenial-backports to get the 'best' combination of 'new features' and 'tested'. It has lxd 2.18, with support for storage pools. If you're using this version, the most relevant documentation would be from git master branch: <a href="https://github.com/lxc/lxd/tree/master/doc">https://github.com/lxc/lxd/tree/master/doc</a></div><div><br></div><div>If you're using it for production and want long term support, use the default xenial repository instead (not backports), which has lxd 2.0.x. It's supported for longer time, but doesn't have new features (like storage pools). The relevant docs for this version is either <a href="https://github.com/lxc/lxd/tree/stable-2.0/doc">https://github.com/lxc/lxd/tree/stable-2.0/doc</a> or <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxd.html">https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxd.html</a></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
2- How do I erase my first trial : I try to reinit but i says me that :<br>

The requested storage pool "default" already exists. Please choose another name.<br>

How do I erase the the storage pool "default" ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Might be hard if you're using file-backed zfs-pool. On ubuntu it's probably something like this:</div><div>- systemctl disable lxd</div><div>- reboot</div><div>- rename /var/lib/lxd to something else, then create an empty /var/lib/lxd</div><div>- systemctl enable lxd</div><div>- systemctl start lxd</div><div>- lxd init</div><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure how the path and startup script would translate to debian + lxd from snapd (which is in the link you mentioned)</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

3- My true problem is that I do not want the NAT for my new lxc containers but that they use the normal addresses on my local network. How do I do that ?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The usual way:</div><div>- create your own bridge, e.g. br0 in <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge</a> (that example bridges eth0 and eth1 on the same bridge. use the relevant public interface for your setup)</div><div>- configure your container (or profile) to use it (replacing the default lxdbr0). </div><div>- no need to delete existing lxdbr0, just leave it as is.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The 'new' way: looking at <a href="https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/networks.md">https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/networks.md</a> , it should be possible to create the bridge using 'lxc network create ...'</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
And how do I assign them a MAC address so they are accessible from the internet.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This depends on your setup.</div><div><br></div><div>For example, if you rent dedicated server from serverloft (or other providers with similar networking setup), they do NOT allow bridging of VMs to the public network. You need to setup routing instead (long story).</div><div><br></div><div>But if you're on a LAN, then 'making the containers be on the same LAN is the host' is as simple as 'configure the container to use br0' (or whatever bridge you create above). If the LAN has a DHCP server, then the container will automatically get a 'public' IP addres. If not, then configure it statically (just like how you configure a normal linux host)</div><div><br></div><div>-- </div><div>Fajar</div></div></div></div>
