Public bug reported:
After installing current lxd (I purged it before, so any previous
configuration should be done) the networking in the containers does not
work at all, not even with apt-get update (as it seems it can't even
reach the default Debian mirror).
So I went with "dpkg-reconfigure lxd" as advertised on the postinst
note.
The first question is ambiguous: "Choosing this option will let you
configure the default LXD bridge to your liking. If you would rather not
have LXD do this for you, then you will be asked whether you want to use
an existing bridge or just do everything manually." The default is
"yes", so I picked that as I indeed want some default LXD bridge.
Now it asks me for "a valid network interface name", defaulting to
lxcbr0. This might be because I have lxc1 still installed, or this is an
upgrade or so, but either way, using lxcbr0 seems totally fine -- that's
what is already preconfigured and has worked well for a long time and
allows me to connect lxc and lxd containers.
So I go with "lxcbr0", but now it asks me a gazillion questions about IP
addresses, masks, ask me to come up with a valid IPv6 address (how do I
do that, and pick one that's valid, private, and not overlapping with
something else?) None of these questions have defaults. Moreover, lxcbr0
is already configured, so if I would put in different values then lxc
and lxd probably just stomp on each other's feet?
