Launching Debian containers using LXC on Ubuntu


You know you can launch an Ubuntu LXC container using

lxc launch ubuntu:18.04 myvm

Now you want to launch a Debian VM using

lxc launch debian:jessie myvm

but you only get this error message:

Error: The remote "debian" doesn't exist


The debian images are (by default) available from the images remote, not the debian remote, so you need to use this:

lxc launch images:debian/jessie myvm
