So yhy do you thinkmacvlan is any better than the default lxcbr0 style of doing this and using iptables… care to share your thoughts?

These days with LXD 2.0.0 pretty much ready to go…... all the infomation anyone can find on Google is getting to be very dated and now will confuse most users….. new or otherwise ….rather than help them to get going or solve a problem.

Meaning much of what anyone can find on Google is about worthless and is a huge time suck trying to pull out any little nuggets from it these days.



The one positive thing in the works is Stephane Graber is in the process of rewriting / updating his blog post series to reflect the state of LXD 2.0 vs LXC .08

Until the LXC/D community comes up with a way to create a singular information site that makes it easy for people to both learn from and share their experiences about LXD.

Docker is going to continue to hog the spotlight and working with LXD will forever require more work than the average typically user will dive into inorder to get up to speed with it.


That’s my take on it….. LXD is pretty much amazing… but has a huge info / documentation brick wall in front of it.
