Pretty much first set are defaults. Will add notes about ZFS. Should explain loop device here too. Note Roderick using Azure Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS had following screens,
| Code Block |
|---|
|
Name of the storage backend to use (dir or zfs) [default=zfs]: zfs
Create a new ZFS pool (yes/no) [default=yes]? yes
Name of the new ZFS pool [default=lxd]: lxd
Would you like to use an existing block device (yes/no) [default=no]? no
Size in GB of the new loop device (1GB minimum) [default=15]: 15
Would you like LXD to be available over the network (yes/no) [default=no]? no
Would you like stale cached images to be updated automatically (yes/no) [default=yes]? yes
Would you like to create a new network bridge (yes/no) [default=yes]? yes
What should the new bridge be called [default=lxdbr0]? lxdbr0
What IPv4 subnet should be used (CIDR notation, "auto" or "none") [default=auto]? auto
What IPv6 subnet should be used (CIDR notation, "auto" or "none") [default=auto]? auto
LXD has been successfully configured. |
Tin using VMWare Fusion have very different set of screens so we need to investigate this more,

After saying yes to the new network bridge here are the answers to the texts graphical sub prompts,
| Code Block |
|---|
|
Would you like to create a new network bridge (yes/no) [default=yes]? <yes>
What should the new bridge be called [default=lxdbr0]? <Ok>
Do you want to setup an IPv4 subnet? <yes>
This subnet was selected for your convenience and next questions have been pre-answered accodingly. Please make sure this subnet isn't already in use somewhere on your network, if it is, change it to one which isn't. If you later notice network connectivity issues, re-configure lxd and pick a different subnet.
<Ok>
# resulting IPv4 address will vary in this example using VMWare fusion it is 10.232.27.1
<Ok>
... all sorts of things... need to redo this. |
You no longer need root, but users must be added to the lxd group to run the lxc commands.
