Those images will be re-generated weekly from whatever is the latest set of Ubuntu Core disk images. As those disk images aren't refreshed very often, it means that the LXD images will typically need a good snap refresh after their first boot. I expect this limitation to go away when those LXD images get picked up by the Ubuntu Cloud team and they make their way to the official Ubuntu image server as they will then benefit from the same image build pipeline used for the Ubuntu Cloud images. In the mean time, our test images are available on <a href="https://images.linuxcontainers.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://images.linuxcontainers.org</a> and can be used by any LXD user running an up to date version of Ubuntu and LXD with: lxc launch images:ubuntu-core/16 Should you run into any problem with those images, please file a bug here: <a href="https://github.com/lxc/lxc-ci/issues" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/lxc/lxc-ci/issues</a> Some extra notes: - LXD passes your cloud-init configuration to the container. However the current Ubuntu Core images have cloud-init disabled. So if you intend to use that LXD facility, you'll need to manually re-enable cloud-init in your container. - This LXD image has a mock bootloader which pretends to be grub. This allows for the expected upgrade experience to work. Updates to the core snap will be attempted on the following boot and reverted on failure. - Using snaps inside LXD containers only works for unprivileged containers. Setting security.privileged to true on your container will break it. This is due to the way Apparmor namespacing works. - Normal LXD security policies apply. So if you intend to install the LXD snap inside your Ubuntu Core container, you'll need to set security.nesting to true. - As mentioned, those images are meant for testing use. Supported production images will soon be available on the official Ubuntu image server and will be based on those generated for the cloud.
