      Ubuntu 18.04 comes with LXD installed as a DEB package, however the recommended way to install it is via snap.

      Note: If you do a netboot installation LXD is not installed

      On a fresh installation without LXD configured:

      sudo apt remove --purge lxd lxd-client liblxc1 lxcfs

      Then install LXD via snap

      sudo snap install lxd

      On a existing system with LXD configured/containers running:

      install LXD via snap

       sudo snap install lxd

      Then migrate to the snap install of LXD

      sudo lxd.migrate

        Any source to backup installing lxd via snap?

        What do you have against installing it via apt?

            Nothing.

              Oh, so LXD from now on will only be available using snap.

              Have you tried installing LXD on Fedora using Snap?

                  With SELinux enabled too?

                    That's how we use it on Fedora.

                      I was only testing, and I don't really remember.

                      I prefer LXD on Ubuntu since they are both canonical.

                        Just tested again with a F28 minimal netinstall.

                        Sadly, it doesn't seem to be working.

                        Getting an error starting services.
