How to install and set up LXD on Fedora Linux server

To install and set up LXD, a popular open-source container hypervisor, on Fedora Linux, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the system is up to date by running the following command:

sudo dnf update

2. Install the LXD package by running the following command:

sudo dnf install lxd

This will install LXD and any dependencies required.

3. Initialize the LXD configuration by running the following command:

sudo lxd init

This will prompt you to answer a series of questions about the configuration of your LXD installation. Follow the prompts to complete the initialization process.

4. Once the initialization is complete, you can use the lxc command to manage your LXD containers.

For example, to create a new container, run the following command:

sudo lxc launch ubuntu:18.04 my-container

This will create a new container based on the Ubuntu 18.04 image and name it "my-container".

5. To access the container, run the following command:

sudo lxc exec my-container bash

This will open a shell in the container, allowing you to run commands and interact with the container.

That's it! LXD is now installed and configured on your Fedora Linux system. You can use it to create and manage containers for various purposes.
