I found lxd very appealing in the beginning, but when they favoured snap as distribution channel, where, apparently, updates and restarts could only be blocked using the firewall [0], I moved away from it. And Ubuntu in general.

- doubled112 4y agoI liked LXD but had the same issues. I think OpenSUSE and Alpine have it in their repos as not-snaps now.
- groestl 4y agoHonestly, I could have packaged it myself, but it eroded my trust in the ecosystem. They seem to target a different use case. Which is fine by me, I just won't be in for the ride.
- zekrioca 4y agoNot true any longer. Debian has been officially [1] supporting LXD Debian packages [2] since September last year. And you can add this APT repo [3] — which follows the same Debian recipes - into your sources.list to install LXD natively with APT.
