Docker Machine LXD Driver

System requirements

• OS - Ubuntu 20.04
• LXD storage driver - btrfs

Getting started

• Install LXD.
• Install Docker Machine.

Install Docker Machine LXD Driver.

$ sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-lxd https://gitlab.com/masakura/docker-machine-driver-lxd/-/releases/v0.6.0/downloads/bin/docker-machine-driver-lxd-Linux-x86_64
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-lxd

Create Docker Machine.

$ docker-machine create -d lxd docker1

Use Docker Machine.

$ eval $(docker-machine env docker1)
$ docker run --rm hello-world

Remove Docker Machine.

$ docker-machine rm docker1

See Docker Machine documents for details on how to use it.

Using remote LXD

Docker Machine cannot connect SSH in a remote LXD bridge network (eg lxdbr0).

You can specify the public network adapter for the LXD host by using the --lxd-external-network command line argument. The network is exposed using macvlan.

First, set up to connect to the remote LXD.

$ lxc remote add remotelxd 192.168.1.120

Run docker-machine create with the remote LXD public network adapter.

$ docker-machine create -d lxd --lxc-remote remotelxd --lxd-external-network eth0 docker1
