I want to create a minimal containerhost for lxd on ubuntu 18.04 without having the snapd daemon at all.
Is there any version of ubuntu that comes without it?
You can get the smallest installer - Ubuntu Netboot Image
from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/ (LTS is recommended)
and then install all needed stuff
from it using tasksel
or regular apt
/ apt-get
.
If you already have Ubuntu installed, then remove snapd
as simple as
sudo apt-get purge snapd
