Comment on Can I create/spin LXC with virt-manager or something similar?
iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoThanks…That’s my fault. I guess I wanted to mention I was looking for a GUI-like way of doing it. Same way virt-manager does. It handles libvirt in the background, but I guess a nice more intuitive manner of following a process to create a VM. I wanted to see if I can do something similar for a container.

virt-manager is able to work wit lxc. Add a new connection of type Libvirt-LXC.

Yup! I got that far. But when I try to create a new VM/container using LXC instead, I’m prompted for an URI. i have no idea what I’m supposed to enter there. In Proxmox it just downloads the templates itself from its own repository, but i have no idea what I’m supposed to input here. I didn’t find any guide about this :(

It asks for a path to a root directory of a bootstraped container. You can create it with
debootstrap,rinse,pacstrap,alpine-chroot-install,virt-bootstrapetc.iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Thank you for the information! Since Proxmox does this by itself with those templates it uses, I never did this process. I guess I’ll check some guide…thanks a lot!
