# LXD with ZFS pool
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you already have working ZFS pool (see [here](/helios64/install/zfs)) and want to use LXD - it is good idea to use them togeter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## **Step 1** - Prepare filesystem
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo zfs create -o mountpoint=none mypool/lxd-pool
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## **Step 2** - Install LXD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo apt install lxd
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You might want this:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo usermod -aG lxd your-user
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## **Step 3** - Configure LXD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo lxc init
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configure ZFS this way:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
Do you want to configure a new storage pool (yes/no) [default=yes]? yes
|
||
|
|
Name of the new storage pool [default=default]:
|
||
|
|
Name of the storage backend to use (dir, btrfs, ceph, lvm, zfs) [default=zfs]: zfs
|
||
|
|
Create a new ZFS pool (yes/no) [default=yes]? no
|
||
|
|
Name of the existing ZFS pool or dataset: mypool/lxd-pool
|
||
|
|
[...]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## **Step 4** - Optional
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you use zfs-auto-snapshot, you might want to consider this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=false mypool/lxd-pool
|
||
|
|
sudo zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=true mypool/lxd-pool/containers
|
||
|
|
sudo zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=true mypool/lxd-pool/custom
|
||
|
|
sudo zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=true mypool/lxd-pool/virtual-machines
|
||
|
|
```
