[lxc-users] LXD on EC2/AWS - containers not getting IP addresses?

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

I've just launched a Ubuntu 16.04 instance on EC2.

Unfortunately, LXD containers are not getting an IP address.


# lxc launch ubuntu:16.04 website01

# lxc list
+-----------+---------+------+------+------------+-----------+
|   NAME    |  STATE  | IPV4 | IPV6 |    TYPE    | SNAPSHOTS |
+-----------+---------+------+------+------------+-----------+
| website01 | RUNNING |      |      | PERSISTENT | 0         |
+-----------+---------+------+------+------------+-----------+


# dpkg-reconfigure -p medium lxd
(set IPv4 network)


# reboot


Still no IP address in the container:

# lxc list
+-----------+---------+------+------+------------+-----------+
|   NAME    |  STATE  | IPV4 | IPV6 |    TYPE    | SNAPSHOTS |
+-----------+---------+------+------+------------+-----------+
| website01 | RUNNING |      |      | PERSISTENT | 0         |
+-----------+---------+------+------+------------+-----------+



dhclient is running:

lxdbr0 is present:

What step did I miss?
