Would be cool to have support for lxd: https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/, though im not sure this warrants a new vagrant plugin. Let me know if this is something that should be separate from the lxc plugin

ccope commented

This plugin interacts with the lxc tools directly, I doubt it would be easy to adapt to LXD. LXD is also geared more towards managing containers across multiple hosts. What features from LXD do you want to see here?

adam-stokes commented

There are several speed improvements gained from using its image based workflow. Also lxd complements the existing lxc tools.

ccope commented

I think we could take advantage of the images by just using the lxc-download template. The other big thing I see is snapshots, which I also want to support in this vagrant plugin. Anything else specific? As far as I can tell, vagrant-lxc and LXD are both designed to wrap the lxc tools, just targeting different use cases.

Yeah, I agree with @ccope. Not to say that I have not had the time to keep up with this project recently and I'd prefer not to introduce new functionality without having me or someone else to support it.

If someone is capable of adapting this plugin to work with LXD and is up for sending a PR I'd me more than happy to review and give write access to the repo in case the person is up to hang around to support potential issues that might arise. On the other hand, if someone is up for kicking off a separate plugin to get LXD support in vagrant I'd be up for helping out getting things started.

@battlemidget sorry but I personally don't have any short term plans to implement this so I'll close this issue (but please feel free to comment in case you have anything to add! I'll still get notified on it)

@battlemidget @fgrehm I would like to see a LXD Vagrant solution

Another thing to notice is that the lxd runs in unprivileged mode.

lxd can also pack and share containers as image... :)
