• Best virtualization solution with Ubuntu 22.04

  Which is what docker/podman/containerd use. If you want full system emulation look into LXC/LXD. Source: 11 months ago

• Opinions on linux? I wanna hear yalls opinion on it, because you can do some cool shit with it, heres my own rice for a basic idea of what random shit you can do w/ it

  LXD is a manager for Linux Containers (LXC), which lets me spin up a kind-of lightweight VM for any distro, instantly. I use it to run proprietary software isolated from the rest of my system (such as Steam); disposable environments for trying stuff out, and running software that doesn't jive well with Nixos.

• Error: Failed to connect to local LXD: Get "http://unix.socket/1.0": dial unix /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket: connect: no such file or directory

  Check this thread on linuxcontainers LXD forum. Half way down Simos points to the eventual solution:. Source: 12 months ago

• LXC images download

  Hello community, It seems LXC images for arm7l/armhf are no longer available, not from the official Turris mirror nor from LinuxContainers.org (https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/). Any solution or alternative for people like me heavily relying on the Turris Omnia to run LXC containers? Thanks. Source: 10 months ago

• Bought a mini pc to run Proxmox bare metal but the storage is emmc which PM hates. What should I run instead to self host containers and vms?

  Any distribution stable enough and LXD https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/ for containers and VMs. Source: about 1 year ago

• Rancher K3s: Kubernetes on Proxmox Containers

  This has been really stable, and has worked pretty well for me. I deploy the applications to a set of LXD containers (read: lightweight Linux VMs) on Proxmox, a free and open-source hypervisor with an excellent management interface. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
