LXC (Linux Containers) is a lightweight virtualization technology that allows you to run multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a single host. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install LXC on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before installing LXC, it is recommended to update your EndeavourOS system to ensure that all packages and dependencies are up-to-date. Run the following command to update your system:
sudo pacman -Syu
To install LXC, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S lxc
This will download and install the LXC package and its dependencies.
After installing LXC, you need to configure the LXC network settings. LXC uses the bridge network by default. To configure the network, open the network configuration file using your text editor:
sudo nano /etc/lxc/default.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.network.flags = up
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, followed by Y, and then Enter.
To create a container, run the following command:
sudo lxc-create -n mycontainer -t download
This command will create a new container named mycontainer using the LXC download template.
To start the container, run the following command:
sudo lxc-start -n mycontainer
This command will start the container.
In this tutorial, we have explained how to install LXC on EndeavourOS Latest. We have also shown you how to configure LXC, create a container, and start the container. With LXC, you can easily run multiple isolated Linux systems on a single 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!
