LXD on Proxmox

LXD on Proxmox describes how the LXD container system is set up and configured inside the host VE. We may construct and manage both KVM-based and LXC-based on the same host using Proxmox VE.

Using them together enables us to make use of each technology’s advantages. Quickly install and manage Linux containers using LXD, and manage VMs with the VE’s robust virtualization platform. We have the freedom to select the best technology for the workloads thanks to this integration.

Steps to set up LXD on Proxmox

1. Firstly, install Proxmox VE on the host computer. An exclusive ISO installer from Proxmox VE walks us through the installation procedure.

2. Then enable the nested virtualization. This allows Proxmox VE, which operates as a VM, to build VE inside of other VEs.

3. We can then install LXD inside the host. The LXD repository must be added, the LXD package must be installed, and the LXD service must be configured.

4. LXD needs storage space to keep runtime data and container images. To point to a directory, ZFS pool, or other supported storage backend on the VE server, we must configure a storage pool within LXD.

5. Lastly, we can create, launch, stop, and manage Linux containers using LXD commands on the host after installing and setting up LXD.

Running LXD on Proxmox VE enables us to manage both the virtual machines and the LXD containers in a single place by using Proxmox VE’s easy web-based interface. With the help of this integration, we may deploy a combination of virtual machines and containers, picking the one that best suits the needs of our application.

Conclusion

LXD on Proxmox provides a powerful combination of virtual machines (VMs) and containers, allowing users to leverage the benefits of both technologies for efficient and flexible virtualization solutions.
