LXD Container Launch Errors on Vagrant Provisioned Bionic VM

1

hey folks, I’m trying to launch an lxc container (ubuntu bionic) and I’m seeing a strange issue, the lxd is running on a virtualbox vm provisioned by vagrant. I guess the issue is Vagrant-related as I’ve not experienced this before.

errors:

ubuntu@ubuntu-bionic:~$ lxc launch ubuntu:bionic test

Looks like your default profile has something like:

eth0:
  type: nic
  nictype: bridged
  parent: enp0s8
  name: eth0

Which isn’t valid as enp0s8 isn’t a bridge. parent for bridged type nic must point to a Linux or OVS bridge. If you want to directly point at a physical nic, you may want to try nictype=macvlan instead.

Ah nuts! Thanks. Sometimes it’s the simple things, like me :slight_smile:
