Comments and Reviews
LXC is easier to deploy on Linux than Docker.
I've tried running lxc. It was easy at first. But when I tried running it in unprivileged mode as a user I encountered a few issues related to apparmor and file permissions. In the end ubuntu 24 image refused to boot and I gave up. Maybe the official tutorial wasn't up to date I don't know. I guess I will continue running virtual machines.
