I'm delighted to find that #LXC and #LXD now work effortlessly and flawlessly out of the box in the current #AlpineLinux, v. 3.17.
Even launching unprivileged containers as a non-root user works without error and with minimal configuration effort.
As nearly as I can tell, this makes Alpine the only linux distro other than Ubuntu that this is true of. And it does it with its standard repositories, none of your snaps nonsense. Nice to finally have an ultra-lightweight, systemd-free distro for hosting Linux #Containers.
@pieist agree 100% - i am in the process of migrating from fedora right now and have alpine (edge) and have been using podman to handle containers but I also like LXC so maybe I need to take a look at how to get back up to speed on using them for things like development roots and/or running bits of software I don't want in the main host.
