From what I can tell so far, netplan is similar to network-manager, in the sense that both can manage network, and both can be uninstalled just fine (obviously with some functionality loss, but perfectly fine for minimal server install running zfs + lxd). It was that way in 16.04 (the network-manager part, that is), and it's that way currently in 18.04. I find it hard to see ubuntu breaking that functionality on LTS release. On the next releases, perhaps. Of course, if you have a reference that says otherwise, do share the link. >>> LXD via SNAP (which is only LXD install option on Bionic). >> >> >> Not true.

Is there a link? I know of the PPA deprecation (not ubuntu official repository, but the ppa), i.e. https://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org/msg07938.html https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/getting-started-cli/ says apt with official repo https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxd.html also says apt (although to be fair, the page hierarcy starts with 'ubuntu 18.04', but the page content still has 16.04) -- Fajar _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
