That article is almost a year old now. Considering Wily and Xenial are systemd based I'm going to assume the LXD/LXC folks have figured this out.
As for your last comment, yeah these are system containers - lighterweight virtual machines and not docker containers. They're meant to replicate and entire machine, with an init, more attuned to a VPS/VM and not an application container.

Not LXC's fault exactly, just the underlying set of requirements, kernel/systemd/etc patches, assuming you want the unpriv containers and systemd based containers to run. Technically, you could find and apply all of those to Debian, Redhat, whatever, and use them as the host OS, but it wouldn't be a trivial effort.
- ergo14 11y agoI used lxc containers with ubuntu 12.04 on a Debian host ;-)
- tyingq 11y agoYou apparently didn't need unprivileged containers and/or a guest os that uses systemd. And it sounds like you didn't need lxd. Edit: Or you did, and you figured out how to replicate all the needed changes back to Deb.
