[lxc-users] Migration from LXD 2.x packages to LXD 3.0 snap

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

How exactly did you upgrade from 2.x deb to 3.0 snap?

I've made a test "upgrade" on one server, but it didn't really result in 
an upgrade:

- the old deb install was left with its containers and settings

- the new snap version was installed in a different place, and was 
managing its own containers and own settings


Though I didn't investigate later how to move the containers from the 
deb setup to snap setup (I could probably import/export, but it would 
take a while on production servers).
