Path:

• /var/lib/lxd/
• /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/

Entering LXD namespace managed by snap (to access ZFS mount points for example):

# nsenter -t $(cat /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd.pid) -m

Some packages I like to install on fresh containers install:

vim
postfix
logrotate
etckeeper
iputils-ping
dnsutils

Some initial steps:

• Enable journald
• Set hostname (create /etc/hostname on Archlinux!)
• Configure postfix

Disable getty for old containers images:

# sed -i 's/^tty/# tty/g' /etc/inittab
# systemctl disable getty@tty{1..4}
# reboot
