This post is a gathering of resources/links (with brief annotations describing what they’re for) related to the Linux Container Hypervisor, LXD.
Blog posts
- The seminal LXD 2.0 intro by core developer @stgraber: https://stgraber.org/2016/03/11/lxd-2-0-introduction-to-lxd-112/ - contains lots of general information about maintaining LXD containers, setting up LXD, networking, filesystems, and many other things. Pretty close to comprehensive documentation on LXD.

For Wiki editors:
- Links here should be resources which are not specifically about “legacy” LXC.
- Please delete or deprecate (move to the bottom in a separate section) any articles/links that are (1) dead (inaccessible) for more than a few days (notifying the webmaster might help); (2) are for an unsupported (obsolete) version of LXD. Supported version of LXD is defined as one that is receiving at least security updates (if not also bug-fix updates), either from upstream (Canonical/Ubuntu) or from a third-party distro package maintainer.
