Because LXC has no marketing money like Docker. For me it's just one of these cool tools I use every day without giving it a second thought.

- jsilence 7y agoHow is the tooling compared to Docker? Genuinely interested. Are there platforms like Portainer available? Is something like docker-compose possible?
- zaarn 7y agoLXC is a bit more simple than that; the modus-operandi is to unpack the rootfs of your favorite distro (ie, ubuntu, alpine) into the container and it runs /bin/init in that container. It essentially behaves like a full VM without the virtualization part. Tooling would be things like Ansible to setup the container as if you would a normal linux system. Though to be honest, not many people invested in good tooling around LXC, it should be possible without problem to run a docker rootfs in LXC.
