LXD and VT-x for containers - obligatory or NOT

[eoopy1]

Does LXD need VTx or SVM on Intel/AMD for non-GUI linux containers? I thought VTx is needed only when installing Windows or complete linux (as VM)?

Thanks

Running virtual machines with LXD 4.0

That won’t do you any good, those are userspace packages, you’re missing kernel modules. Show: uname -a modinfo kvm modinfo kvm_intel Yes, LXD requires hardware virtualization (VTx or SVM on Intel/AMD).

Hardware virtualization support is only need to run LXD VMs, not LXD system containers.
