Congratulations on 2.0! I tried out LXD a few months ago after hitting a few walls with Vagrant, and I've been happy since.
Mark Shuttleworth's normally responsive on Google+, and he helped point me in the right direction with initial issues that I encountered.
Stéphane and the team have also been helpful on Github with issues.
The first thing I struggled with in this containers business was "what's the difference between LXC/LXD and Docker et. al.?", and I am glad that he addressed it first in the post.
I've got north of 20 containers on our machines, and LXD allows me to create a container, play around with software config on it, and when I get it right; I just leave that container and update it regularly like the host it's on.
- fulafel 11y agoYou can also use LXC as Vagrant backend to get away from the crashy and buggy VirtualBox kernel driver. Though ~all the Vagrant images you find online are tied to VirtualBox.
- mugsie 11y agoYeah, it can be a pain to get images. That said, my workflow for testing anything these days is inside a vagrant lxc box. it is well worth the lack of images for the improved workflow.
