Can I ask what you use LXD for?

  - if you have a good hardware , you can easily build digital ocean / aws lightsail like environment with a single install in 5 mins of configuration - A VPS Like experience for both Containers and QEMU - Quick and easy multi-tenancy - Very easy to build development enviorment isloated from the system. - Isolation host for docker containers. - Automatic networking support with DHCP , OVN or MacVLAN if you have multiple physical IPs. - Home Made Cluster of containers. It is literally best way to host multiple docker containers. Isolated from each other. You wont need K8s in many case , infact if you don't have 10k+ users , do not need to worry about 99.999 uptime and redundancy - LXD is all you need. Or if you have only one Physical Machine and want to test K8s cluters , you can use LXD Containers for that instead of resource intensive VMs.

    I'm curious as to why you put spaces before commas. It's incorrect and slightly obnoxious to read.

      Thanks, hard to format, I was on car while typing on phone.

      Another problem is use of auto formatters. When I am on phone I expect it to auto format text.

  I use it a lot for personal homelab infrastructure. I find it feels a lot more natural than single process containers for the workloads I use (torrent clients, game servers, plex...). I've unfortunately never used it for production workloads, and likely never will after recent news. I also find lxc system containers better than OCI style immutable containers for dev environments for my personal projects, and LXD is the best way to manage them AFAIK.

  Can I ask what people do without LXD? It's the closest I've found to Linux-VServer which I still miss to this day.
