The same VPS - as same as a VPS can be :-) - ran LXC on Ubuntu 14.04

my work load perhaps the directory or LVM backends for LXD are good
enough.
Don't use a file-based image for a different filesystem - your
performance will be poor, and you risk loosing the whole filesystem if
something wrong happens to your main fs.
Exceptions to this rule are perhaps:
- testing
- recovery
- KVM set up to use a file-based image for a VM (still, not perfect)
If you want to use LXD with btrfs, it's still quite easy to do, though
stick to the following rules:
- btrfs should be placed on a separate block device (disk/partition) -
so, let's say /dev/xvdb1 mounted to /var/lib/lxd
- btrfs is still not very stable (no RAID and RAID-1 levels are fine for
basic workloads, though you may still hit an occasional hiccup) - use
the most recent stable kernel with btrfs (for Ubuntu, you can get it
from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ - you'll need
"raw.lxc: lxc.aa_allow_incomplete=1" in container's config); kernel 4.4
used in Ubuntu 16.04 is too old and you will run into problems after
some time!
- chattr +C on database (mysql, postgres, mongo, elasticsearch)
directories, otherwise, performance will be very poor (note chattr +C
only works on directories and empty files; for existing files, you'll
have to move them out and copy back in)
