What does which lxc show you?

3

hi,

root@cpu-5177:~# which lxc
/root/go/bin/lxc

I am getting this as I have complied manually for 3.8 version

You ran this command on a different system though, the problem you showed above was on cpu-5176 but you ran which on cpu-5177.

I’m trying to make sure that the lxc commands your ran above were all indeed running against the lxd daemon that’s backing /var/lib/lxd as most cases of the tool showing you nothing is due to querying a secondary local or remote LXD daemon.

I have the same problem with lxd on maas , maas shows bunch of LXD (POD) but when I log into the lxd host and run lxc list , it shows nothing .

The lxd host deployed with maas

My issue was related to a mistake that I have made. Actually I have provisioned the server with kvm (virsh) instead of lxd vms.

I got tripped up by the same thing with my home lab. In MAAS, did you create the VM under a new project? When you run lxc, it’ll default to the project “default”.
