In case you missed it, Canonical relicensed LXD under AGPLv3 in December 2023 with a mandatory CLA. The LXD project was hard forked as Incus and licensed under an Apache 2.0 License.
Incus is maintained by the same team of developers that first created LXD and is recommended for new users going forward.
If you continue with this guide using Incus, substitute incus
for lxc
in each command.
💡 If using Debian 12 (Bookworm) or newer, you can just
apt install lxd
but keep in mind this pacakge is EOL and new users are encouraged to move to Incus.
