Hi guys!

The same way I hold some VMs for some apps I might not trust well enough to share with the rest of my OS/partition, I'd like to be able to do the same, but with LXC instead, possibly reducing overhead (and perhaps increasing ache in the head). I was wondering if the GUI Virt-manager can do this? It seems after installing libvirt-daemon-lxc, libvirtd, libvirt-client-qemu I'm able to connect to the LXC daemon in my system. However, I'm not sure how to follow a similar process as perhaps Proxmox, to build a, say, fully blown ubuntu LXC from a template. How should I do this?

Thanks!

There's much more tooling for containerd containers than there is for LXC

There's a GUI for containerd?
