[lxc-users] Status: Debian Jessie support for unprivileged containers?

[Christian Benke]

Hello!

I'm struggling to create an unprivileged Jessie container on a Jessie
host. I came across this chart:
https://www.flockport.com/lxc-and-lxd-support-across-distributions/,
which points out that unprivileged containers are currently not
supported on Debian Jessie.

Can someone tell me if this information is up-to-date? Is my struggle
to get this working futile?

If there is a way (Several mailinglist-posts suggest so) - I'm not
even able to create the container, as an unprivileged user the
template is not available:

~$ lxc-create -n my-container -t debian -- -r jessie
This template can't be used for unprivileged containers.
You may want to try the "download" template instead.
lxc_container: container creation template for my-container failed
lxc_container: Error creating container my-container

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