Solving “Libvirt-LXC Not Connected” Issue

When we face difficulties with connecting to libvirt LXC using Proxmox, we can use the below troubleshooting steps:

1. Initially, verify that Proxmox’s LXC setup is configured appropriately. Ensure the LXC container’s networking configuration—including the bridge interface and network settings—is set up correctly.

2. Then, verify that the Proxmox host is executing the libvirtd service. So, to find out the libvirtd service’s current state, SSH into the Proxmox host and execute the following command:

In order to launch the service if it’s not already running, use:

3. Check to see if libvirt is set up properly to establish a connection with LXC containers. So, to verify the connection, use the following command:

If the command is unsuccessful or does not produce the desired results, there could be a problem with how libvirt is configured.

4. So, verify that the permissions on the libvirt socket are configured correctly. Execute the subsequent command to verify the permissions:

The socket file with the proper permissions for the user accessing it should be displayed in the output. Then, use the chmod command to change the permissions if they are not correct:

5. In order to make sure that any settings updates take effect, restart both the LXC and the libvirt service. Execute the subsequent commands:

6. Ensure that the required ports and protocols are open for libvirt by checking the Proxmox host’s firewall settings. Port 16509 is what libvirt uses by default for LXC connections. Make the appropriate adjustments to your firewall rules.

7. Lastly, look through the logs for any libvirt or LXC container-related errors or warnings. Usually, the pertinent log files may be found at /var/log/libvirt/ or /var/log/lxc/.
