| jrwren | "LXD 3.1 will only be made available as a snap package. We will not be uploading it as a deb to Ubuntu 18.10 or through backports to previous releases." | 13:02 |
|---|---|---|
| jrwren | Well, then does it really exist then? :) | 13:03 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: They still have some backports | 13:06 |
| cmaloney | but yeah,if they wanted to kill LXD this would be the way to do it | 13:07 |
| cmaloney | but w/e. | 13:07 |
| jrwren | yeah, its dead. it is snap only from this point forward. | 13:46 |
| jrwren | I'm sure it will continue because some canonical customer is using it, but its not a growth product. | 13:47 |
| rick_h_ | I don't know, it has a large user base outside of ubuntu | 13:47 |
| jrwren | Its true. I only mean that it is dead to me. :) | 13:47 |
| jrwren | People will do ANYTHING to get their spotify on the desktop. | 13:48 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 13:48 |
| rick_h_ | I meant lxd vs snaps | 13:48 |
| rick_h_ | lxd is used outside of ubuntu | 13:48 |
| jrwren | oh! duh. | 13:48 |
| jrwren | lol. I should go back to bed :) | 13:48 |
| rick_h_ | snaps, yea I guess that's getting some outside ubuntu traction | 13:48 |
| jrwren | I can only barely imagine LXD being the right solution for things. I think it is because it is a little niche and I have poor imagination. | 13:49 |
| jrwren | I'm just bitter becasue I really like LXD but I really dislike snap. I feel like they are taking it away from me. | 13:50 |
| rick_h_ | actually with the gpu pass through and such it's big in HPC atm | 13:50 |
| rick_h_ | we've got several folks poking at it as a lot faster than VMs for scale but more useful than a docker container | 13:51 |
| jrwren | Makes sense. | 13:51 |
| brousch | We use LXC, but not LXD | 14:21 |
| cmaloney | LXD is really nice. I like LXD a lot | 14:32 |
| cmaloney | It's the quickest way for me to spin up a "what does this do" machine | 14:32 |
| cmaloney | but if LXC / LXD weren't available I'd probably switch to Vagrant | 14:32 |
| cmaloney | Thing is by making it snaps only they've essentially told the world "you have to be all-in to the Ubuntu way of doing things" | 14:35 |
| cmaloney | and that hasn't worked well in the past | 14:35 |
| cmaloney | It might have worked had Docker not completely changed how folks think about containers | 14:36 |
| cmaloney | And by changed I mean become synonymous with | 14:36 |
| jrwren | https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2018/tarballs-the-ultimate-container-image-format/ lol | 17:46 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Search your feelings. You know it to be true | 17:55 |
| jrwren | its pretty close to true. | 17:58 |
