[lxc-users] lxd under stretch

[Pierre Couderc]

 I still have "instabilities" when trying to build lxd under debian.

And I am nearly sure is is because I have bad versions of liblxc1
liblxc-dev.

How can I build them myself ?

If you are asking such questions, you definitely should not build anything
yourself.

Thank you for you efficient  answer that I definitely intend not to
follow ;)
Maybe my question is not very subtle. But you could answer me something like
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lxc/lxc_3.0.1-0ubuntu1~18.04.2.debian.tar.xz
or at least confirm me if it is a correct answer ?

I'd recommend you try lxd snap first instead of building yourself.
https://packages.debian.org/snapd
https://snapcraft.io/lxd

If it doesn't fit your requirement and you still need to build it yourself,
try
https://github.com/lxc/lxd#installing-lxd-from-source
https://github.com/lxc/lxd/releases/tag/lxd-3.5

If you've followed the above and still have problems, it'd help if you
write in detail what those problems are (i.e. not just "instabilities")

I have found a solution without building myself !
By using some specific ubuntu .deb in  debian environment
(liblxc1_3.0.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb lxd_3.0.0-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb
liblxc-common_3.0.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
lxd-client_3.0.0-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb). It is being tested.

lxd-client_3.0.0-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb). It is being tested.

Anyway, I have a problem to start my first container. Container log is :
lxc 20180925134923.392 ERROR    lxc_utils - utils.c:open_devnull:1751 -
Permission denied - Can't open /dev/null
lxc 20180925134923.392 ERROR    lxc_sync - sync.c:__sync_wait:57 - An

lxc 20180925134923.424 ERROR    lxc_start - start.c:__lxc_start:1866 -

commands.c:lxc_cmd_rsp_recv:130 - Connection reset by peer - Failed to
receive response for command "get_cgroup"

My kernel is 4.18.0.1
apparmor is 2.13.-8

Init is standard with a bridge added after init with :
lxc network attach-profile br0 default eth0

I do not find something similar by googling.

It doesn't. It just installs a parallel system, effectively multiplying the
space used by your installation by the number of snap packages installed and
hiding programs under weird paths.

One way possible (other are snapd or build from sources...) to install
not under stretch but under buster :
- download liblxc1_3.0.2-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb
liblxc-common_3.0.2-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb lxd_3.0.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb 
lxd-client_3.0.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
- check depenbdencies for each one (dpkg -I ...) and apt install them
- dpkg -i liblxc1_3.0.2-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb
liblxc-common_3.0.2-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb
-dpkg -i lxd_3.0.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb lxd-client_3.0.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
Similar install may be possible with stretch but with lxd releases older
than 3.0.2.

Many thanks to Stéphane Graber...
