[lxc-users] lxd not providing port 8443

[Mark Constable]

I have 2 *buntu 15.10 hosts and my local one has a few trusty, utopic and
wily containers. I've just updated a local LAN remote NAS to wily (so both
ends run the same version of lxd/lxc) and want to test copying and migration.

However, neither my local or remote test machines have anything running on
port 8443. Is there some "trick" to start lxd plus access via port 8443?

There is no firewall between them (from remote LAN NAS back to my laptop).

And fwiw this is the wily container running on my local host scanned
from the remote LAN NAS (ie; no fundamental networking issues)...
