    Super great write up. This really took me back to my days of working on the container platform behind CloudFoundry.

    In particular, we also used to use loop devices [1] but with AUFS mounted on them.

    Later we moved over to BTRFS and then Overlay on XFS [2] to help with our unprivileged (security) story.

    Also, this was a great piece of technical writing. Thanks for sharing!

    The expected changes are: - https://github.com/lxc/lxd will now become https://github.com/canonical/lxd - https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd will disappear and be replaced with a mention directing users to https://ubuntu.com/lxd - The LXD YouTube channel will be handed over to the Canonical team - The LXD section on the LinuxContainers community forum will slowly be sunset in favor of the Ubuntu Discourse forum run by Canonical - The LXD CI infrastructure will be moved under Canonical’s care - Image building for Linux Containers will no longer be relying on systems provided by Canonical, limiting image building to x86_64 and aarch64.

    Hello community, it seems LXC images for arm7l/armhf are no longer available, not from the official Turris mirror nor from LinuxContainers.org (https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/). Any solution or alternative for people like me heavily relying on the Turris Omnia to run LXC containers? Thanks.
