[lxc-users] access to snapshots from within the containers

[mjansens]

Hi,

Thank you Stéphane for this clarification.
I'll indeed try to stick with the LTS version if I can. The snapshot glitch has an easy work around:  just need to do a ‘ls’ of the new snapshot contents in the host (can even happen in a cron). And anyway, nobody said this issue was fixed in later updates...

Where I might get stuck is in the network part: I will need at some point to lock some containers in specific VLANs. I more or less have gathered from various info on the web that LXD2.0.x networking is limited to a simple bridge (my actual config) or the standard NAT.


Thanks,

Michel
