LXD is a next generation container manager that provides additional features that are similar to virtual machines, such as snapshots, storage pools, and more. Using Linux containers (LXC) as the container type, LXD gives you the best of two worlds. In this video, I'll go over the basics of LXD. You'll learn how to set it up and launch containers. For this particular video, we'll focus on LXC commands - but a follow-up that dives more into LXD's more advanced features is a possibility if there's enough interest.
Time codes:
00:00 - intro
01:54 - What is "LXD"?
04:39 - Some general things before we start
07:15 - Installing LXD
11:40 - Initializing LXD
14:35 - Images and remote repositories
17:45 - Interacting with LXD & Running containers
19:07 - Installing Apache in a LXC container
22:10 - Additional commands to manage containers

Please do video on LXD, clustering would be a good start

@LearnLinuxTV 3 года назад

Expect it. I don't have a timeline yet, but it will happen.

@dracostyx 3 года назад

I’d love it if you make more videos on all the canonical tech like MAAS and Juju

@corewarrior 3 года назад

would definitely like see more lxd vidoes, particularly around clustering and VMs.

@wekiwa7055 2 года назад

I wanted clarification on LXC and here it is. The best beginning LXD vid on RU-vid! My 12yr old niece loves learning on your channel. :)

@PankajSharma-ir7fb 3 года назад

Proxmox uses lxc containers. That's where I saw lxc for the first time. Great lxc initiation video.

@mockingbird3809 3 года назад

I would love to see more videos on LXD/LXC and networking within the containers.

@cjbaghl 3 года назад

Jay, another great video. At some point I would love to see a best practices video on accessing containers directly on a LAN. Also, best practices for access the containers from the container host PC. Of course everyone loves eye candy: GUI LXD management apps like LXDGUI, LXDMosaic, LXDware and any other dashboards. Again, thank you for making things simple and especially for your enthusiasm.

@AssociateMinisterReserveDeacon 2 года назад

A. Mr. Jay you're a great and knowledgeable resource. I look to your RU-vid channel when I have a tech related question. You give insite on technology beyond Linux. B. Mr. Jay you're a great instructor and teacher. You could teach anything. You give the viewer a chance to absorb the information being presented. You don't suffer from diarrhea of the mouth. C. Mr. Jay I like the professional introduction to each of your videos. You inform the viewer of the subject (s) being covered in each of your videos. A lot of Tech RU-vidrs don't do that. They jump directly in what they are presenting. The viewer no idea of what is being presented and becomes confused as to what the video is about. Great Job!!! D. Mr. Jay your videos are self contained. The viewer doesn't have stop a video. Watch separate video and comeback the original video. E. Mr. Jay you don't overload your videos with unrelated information and useless information. You stay on topic. Great Job!!!. F. Mr. Jay you've wise wisdom and uncommon common sense. G. Mr. Jay Thankyou!!! For sharing your wise wisdom and uncommon common. H. Mr Jay please continue to get on life's stage and let your Godly inner light shine. Please continue to climb life's ladder and let the world see The Great and Wonderful Gifts, Talents, and Treasures that are inside of you. I. Mr. Jay You Go Gentleman!!! J. Mr.Nay please stay safe. K. Mr.Jay God Bless You!!!

Enjoyed the video and not only learned the basics of lxd/lxc , but would really enjoy learning more about using lxc’s and managing them with lxd.

@LearnLinuxTV 3 года назад

I'm thinking of doing two more LXD videos - one specific to ZFS and its features, and another specific to clustering. Do you think that would be a good way to handle it?

@da001be 3 года назад

@@LearnLinuxTV yes because I really know little about ZFS and your intro to LXD was my first.

@Cespasbeau 2 года назад

I like the fact that you're clear and easy to follow. Now to investigate more of your videos.

@ViniciusProvenzano 3 года назад

Great content! I’d love to see more videos on how to customize the network of the containers, how to access the host file systems, and how to have the different users - one on each container - with the rights to write to a specific host folder ( without messing up its permissions ). A prime on BRTFS and ZFS with LXC would also be really nice! Thanks!

@MarkusEicher70 Год назад

Hello Jay and thank you for this short intro to LXC and LXD. A very intriguing topic, sure worth to dig in deeper. Of course that deserved a like and a subscription. Looking forward to see more of your videos. Good stuff for a Linux newbie.

@cranebird1467 Год назад

Thank you! I wish I saw your guide earlier.

Very seldom does one come across a great ‘learn’ video with correct information, here on yt. This is brilliant and very well articulated. Good work 👍 Edit: big fan of MaaS. Anyone who ‘does cloud’, should at least tinker with it, I reckon!

@slomosapien9243 2 года назад

@Kenny_Ded 3 года назад

Thanks for the video, Jay. Easy to understand and follow. (As always) I'd love to see a follow up video where you go more in depth, like clustering and where you highlight where LXC is beneficial over a VM and vice versa. Can you do HW pass-through, with LXC? Is it only useful for running a headless gust, (CLI) or can you use a desktop environment too?

Very nice Video. Would definitely see more videos of this topic. It’s kinda the right thing for my needs.

@keystoneproperties3589 2 года назад

great video! I am new to linux, and definitely very new to containers. Your presentation makes it so easy for beginners like me to start understand the basics of containers, and how to manage them, so i can start building on top of this foundation, thank you! One thing I noticed, in the end, you mentioned about setting a boot order, that command parameter is in fact incorrect. I looked it up, it should be called "priority", not "order". But thanks again for the great video!

@itachiDgr8 Год назад

Great video. I would love to learn more about LXD profiles and how to spawn LXD containers with different packages.

@peterkingston4883 Год назад

I just came across your video and jumped straight into it on the promise of 30 minutes. You did it. So well done. It is an excellent tutorial, thank you. I have been looking at linux for a couple of weeks now and would like to set up my own containers. I work with a couple of developers who use Linux ( I am not one) and I am thinking of moving our virtual machines to one platform to save costs. They will house customer applications for testing etc. The LXD site says that the images are not proven and that we should use them at our own peril. I take this to mean that we need to build them ourselves so we know what is in them. Have you made a video on creating containers? If not cannot you recommend one. Thanks in advance PK

@albertoleo9529 3 года назад

Great video as usual, Jay ! I am (slowly) trying to figure out how to benefit and use containers. I kind of see the great potential but I am not quite there yet (I mean how I can use them for my specific needs). Your video is giving me a big step forward to full understanding! Thank you

@LearnLinuxTV 3 года назад

I'm glad you liked it. I think of containers as a tool, and just like any tool, no one has to use it. If it makes sense for the task at hand, then you should use it. But always use the best tool for the job, even if it's not this. For me, I think the smaller resource footprint is what makes containers attractive IMHO.

@albertoleo9529 3 года назад

@@LearnLinuxTV I love all your videos! Even if my understanding is not even close to 100% yet, I learn a lot every time you publish a video! Yes, exactly a tool. And low resources requirements is music for my ears! And I ask myself: could this be the right tool, for example, to use a phisical machine managing containers with let's say a router/firewall container/VM, a storage (NAS) container/VM and a local surveillance container/VM? Well, I think this can be done (it is probably what Proxmox does), but I am trying to understand if it is the best way and how to do it in details. I am kind of reluctant to do things blindly. I want to understand at least the principles. I couldn't drive a car without knowing how a clutch or a brake works, even if I am not able to change or repair them myself. But I know how to avoid overheating or other problems and how to use them properly.

@unbekannter_Nutzer 3 года назад

Informative, well done presentation. One minor issue, I have: You often clear the screen, less than one second after mentioning, what to look for (i.e. 22:33, stopping a container). Why do you do this? Many presenters like to clear the screen, but the observer often wants to look left and right, up and down, to compare it with previous output. Don't clear the screen, let it roll out of scope. The current command line is easy to identify - it's the last one. : ) You only know, that you should have pushed the pause button, when the screen is gone, so you have to jump back, search the right position, then hit pause in the right 1/10th of the second, when the output is visiible and not yet cleared again.

@boblehue 2 года назад

Log in to the container "lxc exec ubuntu bash" If you have two servers running LXD you can use one to backup containers. You could also migrate the containers between servers and have them running on the backup server while doing maintenance on primary. To do this you need to make them available on the network. What i do is that i take a snapshot of the container that i want to have a backup of since you can not do this on running containers. "lxc snapshot ubuntu snapshot1" Then i copy the snapshot to the backup server. lxc copy ubuntu/snapshot1 backupserver:ubuntu Now you can shutdown container on "prod" server and start it on backup server. I love LXC and LXD. If you combain LXD with ansible you can write playbooks to automate you containers like update packages and installing default software you use.

@jnixdorf 3 года назад

Refering to 3:10 ...Sorry for being nitpicky, but when you "stop" a docker container it will remain its data similar to a "shutdown" of a VM. Only when you "remove" a docker container, all your changes would be lost. You can make a snapshot of your docker container with "docker commit" (which will create a new docker image) to create a new container later with data you have changed before.

@paulmansfield6218 Год назад

This is the second video on LXC/LXD I've watched this week that has included the view that data not on a docker volume is lost when you stop the docker container. This is not true, docker containers keep all data changed until you remove (delete) the container. Stopping and starting or restarting does not take it back to a fresh bare image version of the container, it keeps the read-write layer over the top which makes up that version of the container. Test by touching a file in /, stop and start, its still there and / is not a docker volume, its backed by the top read-write layer which is specific to a container i.e. containers nginx1 and nginx2 have different read-write layers. Volumes are meant to support data retention between docker container version upgrades and are about keeping application data outside the container in an easily backed up and replicated location.

@GuillermoPradoObando 3 года назад

@konstantinosnikas73 3 года назад

Great tutorial! Thanks a lot LearnLinuxTV! Could we make lxd clustering using lxd VM on a single host "machine"? Is there a lxd solution for arm64 architecture (i.e. ubuntu server 64bit on raspberrypi 4), that works properly?

@apulacheyt 3 года назад

Hi Jay excellent intro to LXD and LXC. Definitely additional information is needed to use it. I'll assumed that LXD run OCI images?. Can I run LXC on Kubernates or LXD is like a Kubernates for LXC?. I'll presumed you can port forwarding services from LXC and share directories or volumes with the hosting OS?. I mean having a container that is not ephemeral is great but I would like to know if LXD/LXC are ready to be a feasible option over Docker? In my humble opinion a whole series about using LXD/LXC in the real world is required. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!!!

@spatialtech 3 года назад

Future video idea: would be nice to see an existing LXC container (Debian-base) get modified e.g. install PostGreSQL/PosGIS then saved as a new container that could be deployed on Proxmox. Proxmox admins creating their own custom LXC containers for deployment. A follow-up video could be adding sudo users and setting the postgres password in a cloud-config/turnkey-style mechanism. Thanks for all the videos BTW.

@LearnLinuxTV 3 года назад

That may be a good thing to add to a Proxmox video that I'm thinking of doing, which may or may not end up being a series.

thank you Jay, very good guide! If I may ask, I've a problem with settings of LXD: the network is somehow set to active the network for IPv4 addresses: at the moment, it tries to use only IPv6 and as result network is unavailable to my vm's or containers. Can you suggest me a solution, or a document to study to solve this problem? Thanks again
