LXD Network Setup

[erikr]

Hi.

I need some help setting up networking for my LXD containers. I have followed drobins guides on the wiki and they cover most everything except for networking. When I search and try the thing I find it goes wrong.

The setup:

On my server I have a physical interface eth0 with ip 192.168.1.2. I like to create a LXD container that uses an own static IP on eth0 (.3) so that I can use it for SSH and web server accessible from inside the LAN. Naturally I want the container to be able to network out. I do NOT want NAT (I think). I do not intend to have a rproxy - I will map a unique hostname to the IP.

 

I have tried to many ways I no longer can describe them but mostly I like the concept for this one as it seems simple enough: https://stgraber.org/2016/10/27/network-management-with-lxd-2-3/

Problem is that even though there seems to be an IP it does not pass through.

Also, do I have to configure the static IP using normal networking inside the container? I have tried and it still does not fall through.

Anyone that knows a guide for the LXD beginner?

There need to be a setup for the Funtoo Computing that does this or similar, it's jut missing in the guide.

Cheers,

Erik

well, lxd init should actually propose to create a lxdbr0 interface that will be used for network inside containers. if you have missed or skipped that part I recommend to go back and try again as it is the easiest thing to do.

so basically you need a bridge interface in the host so the containers can attach to it and you should get internet through your host.

if you need any help contact me on IRC

Did you follow this guide? https://www.funtoo.org/LXD

I think it's the one I used originally.  I could only find it again via a google search.  Couldn't find it via the menus on www.funtoo.org.
