For me, I don't use LXD, but use Proxmox containers. These are non-root Linux containers by default. Super lightweight compared to a VM. Proxmox makes managing LXC containers a little easier with a UI, compared to managing containers strictly using command line. If you go this route, create a container template that has everything you want in every instance. And then spin out new containers whenever you need one.
