[lxc-users] Short howto re lxd-container-on-LAN for impatient dummies?

[Anders Magnus Andersen]

There are a couple of ways to do this. The easiest way is to create
your own bridge: (you need bridge-utils)

nano /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#Added for lxc bridge
iface enp4s0 inet manual

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
    bridge-ifaces enp4s0
    bridge-ports enp4s0
    up ifconfig enp4s0 up


If you are unsure what your network device is, do: ip addr and find
your adapter.

Configure lxc/lxd to use br0 

Vennlig Hilsen / Best Regards
