[lxc-users] discuss.linuxcontainers.org experiment

[Ivan Ogai]

Very good idea indeed!

I wonder however if a discussion platform is the best for having a "best
practice" reference. Maybe better a wiki, or a repository on
bitbucket/github/gitlab where people can send pull requests. Or
dedicated questions like "how to monitor and be notified of mis-behaving
containers" on e.g. https://askubuntu.com/ ?

Or better send pull requests if possible at all to
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxd.html
?

Or, a section whereby people can contribute their designs and others can add their viewpoints.  I know many people use LXC/LXD for home/personal use, but many of use are using this technology in data center production environments.

> * Best practices when backing up, restoring, cloning containers
> * Best practices when deploying containers (same UID, different UID per container, etc)
> As we adopt LXD more and more in our DC designs, it becomes increasingly important for our organization to leverage best practices from the industry experts.
