Public bug reported: I'm trying to virtualize a package that depends on NFS by installing it in an LXC container.
The commands sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server sudo lxc-create -n nfstest -t download -- -d ubuntu -r xenial -a amd64 sudo lxc-start -n nfstest sudo lxc-attach -n nfstest apt-get update sudo lxc-attach -n nfstest apt-get install nfs-kernel-server should install NFS server software inside the container, but instead fail with ... Not creating home directory `/var/lib/nfs'. nfs-utils.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it. Setting up nfs-kernel-server (1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12) ... A dependency job for nfs-server.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details. nfs-server.service couldn't start. Creating config file /etc/exports with new version Creating config file /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server with new version A dependency job for nfs-server.service failed.

Errors were encountered while processing: nfs-kernel-server E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) sudo lxc-attach -n nfstest journalctl -xe reports: Apr 27 15:42:59 nfstest systemd[1]: Failed to mount NFSD configuration filesystem -- Subject: Unit proc-fs-nfsd.mount has failed -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel -- Unit proc-fs-nfsd.mount has failed. -- The result is failed. Presumably this is intended, and there is a way to configure lxc to allow running nfs servers inside it (there are rumors of success on the web), but https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxc.html is silent on the issue, and doesn't even mention the word nfs. Likewise, https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-file-system.html doesn't even mention lxc.
