level 2. saivert. · 3y. Docker is nice for that developer experience and being able to build containers. But it is designed for ephemeral containers and not stuff you are going to run permanently. If you want the VM like experience LXC/LXD is a better option and it is still maintained.

13.01.2021 · Docker is a relatively newer technology compared to LXC. In fact, it used LXC under the hood in its early days. However, Docker has come a long way since then and has implemented its own solutions. Now, the main difference between Docker and LXC is their design choices. Docker emphasizes more on building applications.

The beauty of lxc is that it basically runs the same way a docker image does (docker is based on lxc, after all), but the style of management is ...

LXC vs Docker: Why Docker is Better. self.faizrashid. So what, one may ask, is the difference between these VE's and a traditional VM?

144K subscribers in the docker community. [Docker](http://www.docker.io) is an open-source project to easily create lightweight, ... Docker vs. LXC.

LXC is a lot more "systemful" by default than Docker is. If you want to take a devops-y, composable architecture approach to things, Docker ...

Docker containers and LXC containers borrow from the same foundations of cgroups in the linux kernel, but the applications are different. Docker containers are meant for the use case where it is desirable to wrap a specific user space environment around for one process.

Hi Currently I'm just running Ubuntu server with some programs like NextCloud, Phabricator etc running as Docker containers and a few VMs ...

15.04.2020 · Docker Inc leads docker. 2. LXD can be integrated with fewer tools and technology, only with OpenNebula and Openstack. Docker can be integrated with more tools and technology like Kubernetes, Jenkins, Ansible, and all available Public Cloud. 3. …

In a production environment, docker is often used to deploy web services that don't keep state. LXCs on the other hand are great for deploying ...

Via Docker; there's no app install just a "docker create" and the setup is done. All config files & data live off on an external location. LXC ...

Docker is much more though with docker swarms, network related things. While lxc is more for running an actual os with multiple services, that you interact with like it was a normal linux server install. Obviously not as black and white as the above, but generally how I see them, they both has their place, not really competing against each other.

25.03.2020 · Key Differences between LXC vs LXD. Let us discuss some of the major key differences between LXC vs LXD: LXD is an open-source container management system and is an extension of LXC; and hence LXD improved the existing LXC features and also provides multiple new features for managing and building Linux containers.

LXC/LXD vs Docker vs Podman. Hello all,. I saw some posts in this sub for similar discussions however they were all from around 4 years ago.

I started with LXC/LXD after spending an hour playing with an early version of Docker. For no particularly good reason, I never went back to Docker. Either is preferable compared to virtualization simply because of the density one can achieve. …

08.10.2019 · It’s pretty much accepted that Docker has set the standard for containers and that Kubernetes ran away with the orchestration side of things. But one Mumbai-based startup argues that we need to take things back to the beginning and start all over again — this time with Linux containers (LXC) instead of Docker.

I get the technical differences between Docker and LXC containers (as well as VMs). I use VMs if the service is based around an specialised OS. However, I can't make a good decision when to use a docker container (or docker-compose based container set) vs. to use an LXC container.

Docker and LXC share much of the same design, including the kernel, cgroups, namespaces, and apparmor. This make sense because Docker is built on LXC. The biggest difference is that LXC uses liblxc while Docker uses conainerd and runc to containerize. These are both heavily scrutinized and likely highly secure.

As for docker vs lxc: I use docker for quick testing or like you mention something that is complex to set up and I don't want to bother. For my personal "production" server I try to use lxc because I can configure and control everything. I prefer the more hands-on setup of lxcs.

Docker containers and LXC containers borrow from the same foundations of cgroups in the linux kernel, but the applications are different. Docker containers are meant for the use case where it is desirable to wrap a specific user space environment around for one process.

Docker is more like a package manager, albeit with more isolation. Similar to Snappy or Flatpack, but for servers. LXC, OTOH is a full blown virtualization solution like VMWare with a couple differences. For example the host and guest use the same kernel, so only Linux distros can run as guests.

While Docker and LXC use a lot of the same technologies, and thus are technically very similar, they are very different tools from the user ...

I am not sure if I understand LXC and Docker's handling of dependencies and networking properly, so I wanted to "think out loud" and see if ...
