In your first paragraph you perfectly describe the Ubuntu/Debian relationship!
LXD certainly looks great from the documentation. I would use it if I had dynamic container requirements, or had a lot more containers to manage.
One odd decision is that, I think, the lxc command line tool — a significant improvement over the lxc-<thing> suite of commanda that come by default with LXC — only ships with lxd.
That has a smell about it that’s a bit funny.
- cyphar 6y agoWell, that's because the "lxc" command-line tool manages LXD -- you can't use the "lxc" commands without using LXD. Arguably it should've been called "lxd-client" or "lxdc" but they probably just felt it was too wordy -- most admins that used LXC and wanted to switch to LXD felt more comfortable typing "lxc <command>". And those who used LXC had no need for a top-level "lxc" command because they used the individual programs directly. Again, since the people working on the projects are the same there's nothing wrong with borrowing the name from the other project. :D
