Canonical Releases LXD 5.17 With OpenZFS 2.2 Delegation Support

[chocolate]

Since distrobox is based on docker, I would recommend LXD instead because its based on LXC and the container environment it provides is, by design, a complete OS environment. It's natural choice.

Docker, on the other hand, provides containers made to run a single service on each of them and, IMHO, it seems like a workaround/kludge to make them running multiple services inside again.

Thanks, much appreciated. I see what you mean. I'll need to give LXD a spin myself.
Just for future reference, readers might be interested in these Distrobox documentation paragraphs:

• example of systemd as an init system in a Distrobox container
• example of nesting LXC inside a Distrobox container

which, together, can give the same advantages of having a complete environment, although falling under the part of your comment I highlighted in bold.

On the other hand, nobody talked LXD was forked some weeks ago as Incus https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/ https://github.com/lxc/incus Some reasons in the following link: https://stgraber.org/2023/07/10/time-to-move-on/
