<br>
what is the recommended way of nova-lxd plugin installation on a fresh xenial host running a pure OpenStack devstack (Queens) installation? I have tried to install the nova-lxd plugin by pip install, or allowing it during OpenStack devstack installation, but each attempt lead to the same result. The plugin is either not recognized or the installation doesn't finish successfully. I went through the nova-lxd homepage as well as its github repo, but I wasn't able to solve the whole installation problem (e.g. I found out that the installation of the newest version of pylxd helps with installation of the plugin, however, the plugin isn't still recognized. So additional configuration is needed...).<br>

Do you have any thoughts about it?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm one of the maintainers for nova-lxd, so hopefully can get you up and running.</div><div><br></div><div>In order for nova-lxd to be configured in nova, the /etc/nova-compute.conf needs to contain the lines:</div><div><br></div><div>[DEFAULT]</div><div>compute_driver = nova_lxd.nova.virt.lxd.<wbr>LXDDriver</div><div><br></div><div>This little 'fact' is hidden away in the "nova-compute-lxd" debian package, unfortunately.</div><div><br></div><div>You'll also need to configure an [lxd] section in nova.conf to control the storage pool in LXD for containers to use when launching instances.</div><div><br></div><div><div>[lxd]<br></div><div>allow_live_migration = True<br></div><div>pool = {{ storage_pool }}<br></div><div><br></div></div><div>The storage pool will need to be set up separately in lxd.</div><div>--</div><div><br></div><div>However, an 'easy' way to test OpenStack with nova-lxd, is to use charms.
