Thanks Tom, I have got my containers up and running again. Before when I was using lxd it was assigning an ip address to the container so I could connect to outside world. After recent changes this stopped and i believe it was down to systemd not running in the container (it was before). I now realised that you could assign a static ip address using lxc exec command.
