• 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: about 1 year ago

• Installing A Local Kubernetes

  After five years managing physical servers, then another four years working with VM clusters, the value of Linux Containers(LXC) and their eventual productization as Docker appealed to me. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Opportunities and Challenges of Technological Evolution in Cloud Native

  Docker introduced container images to the technology world, making container images a standardized delivery unit. In fact, before Docker, containerization technology already existed. Let's talk about a more recent technology, LXC (Linux Containers) in 2008. Compared to Docker, LXC is less popular since Docker provides container images, which can be more standardized and more convenient to migrate. Also, Docker... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• canonical/microcloud: Automated private cloud based on LXD and Ceph

  They might both be the same as the Canonical/Microcloud writeup references the work to Stephane Graber who also posted the linuxcontainers.org forum message about LXD microceph. Source: over 1 year ago

• How many VMs can I run on an i5-2500k?

  Linux containers (LXC) are the native containers available in Proxmox. These are quite a bit different than Docker containers. They behave and are managed more like "systems" with their own host name, IP address, shell, etc. TurnKey Linux builds and maintains a number of LXC templates that can be downloaded and installed for free.

• New Self-Hosted Set-up and Security Questions

  If you do want more of a VM-like experience, there are also Linux containers which basically have the full distro experience. (I run PiHole this way (on a rpi4) with an Ethernet bridge for its own IP.). Source: over 1 year ago

  Don't use Docker. Use LXD. Less overhead and easier to setup and manage. https://linuxcontainers.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• Whats the best way for a Raspberry Pi Homebridge environment. Docker?

  If you need to have containers, skip docker. Load Ubuntu and then use LXD, which has much lower overhead. Learn more here: https://linuxcontainers.org. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Community spotlight - we're looking for LXD examples to share

  If you read "rules" to the right you will notice that this sub-reddit is not supposed to be a "support" forum and points you to the linuxcontainers.org user forum to ask support type questions. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is the basic that you should know about kubernetes to be considered in an SRE role?

  Linux container provides containers and virtual machines that run full Linux systems. While VMs supply a complete environment, system containers offer an environment as close as possible to the one you'd get from a VM, but without the overhead that comes with running a separate kernel and simulating all the hardware. link.

• Fedora Server - Good?

  I moved my server, router and laptop to Fedora 34. The server is a DNS, database, mail and web server with several applications in LXC containers. I moved most containers to Fedora too but I kept two Ubuntu containers with GitLab. The upgrade to Fedora 35 worked without problems. I was positively surprised. Source: about 2 years ago

• How to restrict network access of LXC container

  If you're a Linux user, you'd probably point your attention to LXC[0]. Just a few commands to bring up shiny new environment based on a distro selected from wide variety of available options, running on the host kernel with no excessive emulation overhead. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Real-world stories of how we’ve compromised CI/CD pipelines

  > They claim that "standard containers" cannot run a full OS. ... This works just fine with rootless podman and, more recently, rootless docker. > Anyone who wants unprivileged system containers might want to look into rootless docker or podman rather than this. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I have been running full OS userlands using "standard containers" in production for years, via LXD[1]. [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
