Installing LXD using snap on CentOS 7.5 1804

Post by bobk1948 » 2018/08/20 22:27:55

Anybody know how to install LXD on CentOS 7.5 1804 using snap? I’ve used my google-fu and found an excellent post by Stephane Graber at linuxcontainers.org, but when I try to use the sudo yum install snapd command he gives, the repo that is pointed to doesn’t have snap! Here’s a link to his post-

I would appreciate any commentary on this subject.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Robert M. Koretsky

I solved my own problem here. The instructions Stephane Graber gave on the posted link are exactly correct, I redid them today and installed snap as superuser( as perhaps stipulated in Mr. Grabers instructions). All commands worked perfectly, I had to disable packagekit and also disabled selinux. Did the ZFS commands as well, and created a zpool on another disk drive for the LXD storage backend. Bravo LXD and CentOS7.5!
