LXD configuration for OSM Release ONE: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 10:53, 27 March 2017

In order to run LXD containers, you need to install lxd (if not installed by default) and zfs package (to be used as storage backend)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zfs lxd
newgrp lxd                   # required to log the user in the lxd group if lxd was just installed

Then, just run the following command to configure lxd and answer the questions accordingly:

sudo lxd init
 Name of the storage backend to use (dir or zfs): zfs
 Create a new ZFS pool (yes/no)?: yes
 Name of the (existing/new) ZFS pool or dataset: lxdpool
 Would you like to use an existing block device (yes/no)? no
 Size in GB of the new loop device (1GB minimum): 50
 Would you like LXD to be available over the network (yes/no)? no 
 Do you want to configure the LXD bridge (yes/no)? yes

Although further customization is possible, default options for LXD bridge configuration will work in all cases.
