I am unsure how you are supposed to use LXD since from the readme is seems like it is only a REST interface? Why not use lxc directly? But I am a big fan of lxc

I am unsure how you are supposed to use LXD since from the readme is seems like it is only a REST interface? Why not use lxc directly? But I am a big fan of lxc. I have most of my stuff in containers now-days and it has been a very pleasant experience using lxc.
- simosx 8y agoIf you use the command "lxc" to manage your container, then you are using LXD. The command "lxc" communicates with the LXD supervisor over REST for you. If instead you are using commands like "lxc-start", then you are using "LXC". There are two possible aspects of confusion: 1. LXD uses the "lxc" command line utility for all the management of LXD containers. 2. LXC is both the name for the Linux kernel "Linux Containers" functionality and the first/early implementation of tools (those "lxc-????") for Linux Containers.
