The CentOS 7 container from images:centos/7/amd64 doesn’t get a network connection.
The host is Gentoo (using OpenRC for init, and dhcpcd as network manager).
Kernel: 5.4.97
LXD: 4.0.4-r5 (latest available via portage)
I also tried running archlinux/current/amd64, alpine/3.13/amd64 and centos/8/amd64: All of them just worked.
Here is what I did to check the connection, both of CentOS 7 (c7) and CentOS 8 (c8):
# lxc exec c7 ping d-mn.org
ping: d-mn.org: Name or service not known
# lxc exec c7 ping 185.26.156.93
connect: Network is unreachable
# lxc exec c8 ping d-mn.org
PING d-mn.org (185.26.156.93) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from gehrels.uberspace.de (185.26.156.93): icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=25.9 ms
…
# lxc exec c7 ip route
# there’s no output by this command
# lxc exec c8 ip route
default via 10.204.58.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp metric 100
10.204.58.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.204.58.8 metric 100
Initially launching c7 using lxc launch images:centos/7/amd64 c7 went without any errors.
But the container could not be stopped without -f: lxc stop -f c7.
The container did not get an IPV4 address.
