I'm too cheap to pay for EC2, and I don't have enough servers to set up my own openstack, how do I configure juju to use Linux Containers (LXC) on something like my laptop?
1 Answer
Install Juju:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:juju/devel
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install juju-core lxd
You just need to configure the local provider:
newgrp lxd
Then bootstrap a new controller:
juju bootstrap lxd-test lxd
Follow the documentation for the rest of the configuration steps:

After running
juju init -w
, I get an error: " invalid choice: 'init'". I am using the version of Juju in the Raring archives. Do I need to use the PPA? Aug 30, 2013 at 7:10 -
I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I had to add
cloud-archive:tools
PPA in order to be able to bootstrap.– s3v3nAug 17, 2014 at 13:21 -
