Hi guys!
The same way I hold some VMs for some apps I might not trust well enough to share with the rest of my OS/partition, I’d like to be able to do the same, but with LXC instead, possibly reducing overhead (and perhaps increasing ache in the head). I was wondering if the GUI Virt-manager can do this? It seems after installing libvirt-daemon-lxc, libvirtd, libvirt-client-qemu I’m able to connect to the LXC daemon in my system. However, I’m not sure how to follow a similar process as perhaps Proxmox, to build a, say, fully blown ubuntu LXC from a template. How should I do this?
Thanks!
Yes, you can.
virt-manager supports, at least, kvm and lxc/incus, so you should be fine.
There’s much more tooling for containerd containers than there is for LXC
Hmmm I might be open to try. But my idea would be to have the equivalent of a local full blown VM running with its own desktop environment. But on a container. I can do this in proxmox, but I’d like to replicate it locally on my laptop.
There’s a GUI for containerd?
I’m not sure about virt-manager, but there is Incus. I have a server coming soon that I am going to test it out on. https://github.com/lxc/incus.
Thanks! I was hoping it would have its own GUI, not having to run from a webUI…Kinda makes integration with a virtual desktop a bit easier. I’d like to have the equivalent of a virtualbox VM, with desktop etc, but running on a container.
Forgot about that. Think there are a few. Here is an example. https://github.com/osamuaoki/incus-ui-canonical
