It does not require snap, it is just the default way to install it. You can compile it yourself, or check the repositories of your distro of choice otherwise.

I think Arch has it in their repositories, for example.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoDoesn't look convenient due to this: lxd - Transitional package - lxd -> snap (lxd)
- kevin_b_er 6y agoOn ubuntu it requires snap if you want it prepackaged.
- jamesponddotco 6y agoSure, but that does not mean you cannot run LXD on Ubuntu without Snap. I compile new versions, test it out in staging, and then ship the update to production servers, which is currently a mix of Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE. Do not get me wrong, I do not like snap (or flatpak for that matter), and would much prefer if LXD was available through a PPA, or the default Ubuntu repositories, but LXD itself does not require snap, it is just the default distribution method.
