LXC stands for Linux Containers. It is a container runtime environment that provides a way to run multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a single host. This tutorial will walk you through the steps required to install LXC on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing LXC on Clear Linux Latest, it is always a good practice to first update the system:
sudo swupd update
This command updates all the packages to the latest version available in the Clear Linux repository.
LXC is available in the Clear Linux repository. You can install it using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add lxc
This command installs the LXC package and its dependencies.
To check that LXC has been installed correctly, you can run the following command:
lxc-checkconfig
This command will check that all the necessary Kernel modules and features are enabled on the host system to run LXC.
Now that LXC has been installed successfully, you can create your first container by running the following command:
lxc-create -t download -n my-container
This command downloads a pre-built Linux distribution image and creates a new container named my-container using that image. You can replace my-container with any name you want for your container.
Now that the container has been created, you can start it using the following command:
lxc-start -n my-container
This command starts the my-container LXC container. You can replace my-container with the name of your container.
LXC is a powerful tool for running multiple isolated Linux systems on a single host. In this tutorial, we have learned how to install LXC on Clear Linux Latest and create a new container. You can now start using LXC to run multiple Linux systems on your Clear Linux host.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
