Weekly status for the week of the 7th November to the 13th November.

Introduction

This past week has been very quiet due to most members of the team being off for some time due to the previous week(s) sprints.

However @stgraber has still added a video covering security in LXD:

LXD

Improvements:

  • Use strict key checking for lxd init preseed config so that if a preseed config from an incompatible version is used the initialization will fail rather than ignoring unknown config.
  • Several documentation improvements.

LXC

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed an off-by-one error constructing overlay mount options if rootfs options are provided and modern overlayfs (i.e. requiring a workdir) is used.
  • Fixed the static library path. Since switching to meson, liblxc.a is being shipped as liblxc_static.a. This has been changed back to liblxc.a.

YouTube videos

The LXD team is running a YouTube channel with live streams covering LXD releases and weekly videos on different aspects of LXD. You may want to give it a watch and/or subscribe for more content in the coming weeks.
