This guide describes how the LXC/LXD packages built in the ganto/lxc4 COPR project from the spec files hosted in this repository can be used to run LXC/LXD on a Fedora Linux host.
Currently the packages are available for Fedora 31/32/33/Rawhide and the x86_64, aarch64 and i386 architecture. Check the COPR page for more details.
IMPORTANT
These packages are not official Fedora packages and they are only minimally functionally tested. Use them at your own risk and don't forget to create a backup before you perform an update. If you find an issue with the packages, please open a Github issue in this repository. However I won't provide any general LXC/LXD support. For this please check https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/
Enable the COPR repository:
# dnf copr enable ganto/lxc4
Install LXC including liblxc and the lxc-* command line utilities:
# dnf install lxc
If you already have LXC installed from the Fedora repository run:
# dnf update lxc
IMPORTANT
This will replace the official lxc packages in case you had previously installed them from the Fedora repositories. However, the release numbers of the COPR packages are chosen in way, that the official lxc packages should replace the COPR packages again once the same (or newer) version is provided by Fedora.
Install the LXD daemon and the lxc command line client:
# dnf install lxd
Hint: You don't need to install LXC to run LXD. LXD includes a separate command line client. Containers created via the traditional liblxc (and its clients) cannot be managed via LXD without conversion.
For more details please check the official documentation that can be found in the lxc-doc and lxd-doc packages.
