Here are the steps to install and set up LXD on Fedora Linux server:
- Install LXD: To install LXD on Fedora, you can use the following command:
sudo dnf install lxd
- Initialize LXD: After installing LXD, you need to initialize it with the following command:
sudo lxd init
This command will guide you through the process of setting up LXD, including network configuration, storage backend, and user privileges.
- Start LXD: Once LXD has been initialized, start the LXD service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start lxd
- Configure Firewall: If you have a firewall enabled on your Fedora server, you need to configure it to allow LXD traffic. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=8443/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
- Launch a Container: To launch a container using LXD, use the following command:
lxc launch images:<distro>/<release> <container_name>
Replace
<distro>
and<release>
with the desired distribution and release, and<container_name>
with the desired name for the container. - Connect to the Container: To connect to the container, use the following command:
lxc exec <container_name> bash
These are the basic steps to install and set up LXD on Fedora Linux server. You can now start using LXD to manage containers on your Fedora server.
