Oh right, I see now.. too early to comment as usual :( The problem is that you are setting up a "privileged" container for MAAS which does not use UID mapping, hence the issue shows up in the MAAS workflow but not with a normal container deployment.
The rlimit-nproc is simply set in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf, so can easily be tweaked in the package. I believe the idea behind it originally is basically to ensure that avahi cannot be used to execute something else, despite all the chrooting, etc - even if there was a way. Essentially blocking further forking. For that reason, probably makes most sense to simply remove the limit rather than increase it by any given number. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to avahi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1661869 Title: maas install fails inside of a 16.04 lxd container due to avahi problems Status in MAAS: New Status in avahi package in Ubuntu: New Status in lxd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The bug, and workaround, are clearly described in this mailing list thread: https://lists.linuxcontainers.org/pipermail/lxc- users/2016-January/010791.html I'm trying to install MAAS in a LXD container, but that's failing due to avahi package install problems.
