Is live migration with snap installed lxd 3.0.1 possible?

I have two servers, each running LXD 3.0.1 from the snap 3.0/stable channel.

I attempted to move a running server between them, and lxd complained CRIU isn’t installed on the source server. Which it was.

Then from Error in live migration I see that CRIU is included in the snap, but needs to be enabled. So I enabled it on both servers with sudo snap set lxd criu.enable=true.

But it is still complaining of CRIU not being installed on the source server.

Looking through these topics, I can see that it has been disabled (November), and that it doesn’t work migrating between hosts in a cluster, but I can’t see for sure if it should work, from a snap install, between two non-clustered servers.

Any information on this gratefully received. Thanks!

After running snap set, you need to restart the LXD daemon with systemctl reload snap.lxd.daemon.
That should take care of the not-installed error.

Thank you Stéphane. On to the next problem now!
