What do you think about LXC?

[Chrysolite Azalea]

Hello everyone! Recently, I've managed to compile LXC on Puppy Linux. LXC is a open-source container manager for GNU/Linux. I think it can be useful:

1. Software that is hard to compile for Puppy Linux can be run in a container, that has all the dependencies built in it

2. We can use it to run Android applications using the Waydroid project

3. I think it can also be used to install and run Snap packages, because, as far as I understand, Snap requires systemd and Puppy Linux uses BusyBox init. However, I think that it would be nice to have Snap packages on Puppy Linux

It looks like you will get more traction with EasyOS which has LXC and is trying to accommodate waydroid.

I asked about snaps here before and I was told that it would not happen. That said, @fredx181 has built some DebianDogs with SystemD, so I think it may be possible to install snapd on those nonstandard debiandogs. I would also like to do it, so please post your results if you try it.

EasyOS doesn't have LXC, uses its own custom container management called "Easy Containers".

@BarryK
I stand corrected. I thought they were both in there. I actually thought LXC was built into the kernel.

Is it still accurate to say that @Chrysolite Azalea will have an easier time getting Waydroid running on easyOS than on Puppy?

I like podman. It's mostly Docker-compatible but not a daemon: it can do pretty much anything Docker can do, most images "just work" with it, and it's easy to run containers as an unprivileged user on Puppy (because there's no /var/run/docker.sock that needs permissions).
