      I put Ubuntu back on my laptop and I've been playing around with some of their stuff again since they have some pretty cool tech (Juju, MaaS, LXD, etc). I hate the fact that Red Hat pretty much abandoned LXC. It's painful on Fedora and even worse on CentOS.

      I might start using Ubuntu more, and 17.10 is pretty impressive as a workstation OS.

      Here's how easy it is to install Rocket.Chat with Snap on LXD.

        @stacksofplates silly question time, why not just snap install rocketchat-server? Does lxc just start a container with a command?

          Well the first bit builds the container, then you need to install squashfuse so it has somewhere to store it's data or it bombs out. Then I finally ran that inside the container.

                LXD is amazing, I agree that it's amazing on Ubuntu and so insane that it is missing on Fedora.

                  I use Snaps to install Rocket.Chat on Fedora.

                    But isn't snap installs in Fedora have limitation compare to Ubuntu?

                        Sadly, this doesn't seem to work anymore.

                        Using Ubuntu 18.04.

                          Snaps are broken on Ubuntu?

                              @aaronstuder Interesting. It's been great for us on Fedora, even on LXD. Ubuntu can run the LXC if you want, but run a Fedora container, not an Ubuntu one.

                                @scottalanmiller maybe it doesn't support 18.04 yet. I'll try a 17.04 container.

                                  Reboot the server. I'm running on Ubuntu 18.04 and it works.

                                            I dunno. I journalctl -f or journalctl -xe if I'm having problems (or I try starting the snap while it's already running, lol).
