How to make your LXD containers get IP addresses from your LAN using a bridge

---

1. Host Machine Configuration:

• Create a bridge interface: You'll need to create a bridge interface (e.g., br0) on your host machine. This can be done using netplan (if using Ubuntu), /etc/network/interfaces (if using Debian/Ubuntu), or other methods depending on your distribution.


• Configure the bridge: The bridge interface needs to be configured to obtain an IP address (usually via DHCP) and to connect to your physical network interface (e.g., enp0s25).

Example using the configuration file:

Code

This tells the container to use a virtual Ethernet (veth) device linked to the br0 bridge.

Start the container: Start your LXC container using sudo lxc-start -n container_name.

3. Accessing the Internet from the Container:

Obtain the container's IP address:

Use sudo "lxc info container_name | grep inet" or "ip addr" inside the container to find the IP address assigned to it.

Test connectivity:

Try pinging a known internet address (e.g., ping 8.8.8.8) from within the container to verify internet access.

Install a local recursive name server (optional but recommended):

Consider installing a tool like dnsmasq inside the container to handle DNS resolution, using public DNS servers like Google's (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).

By following these steps and adapting them to your specific environment, you can successfully bridge your LXC containers to the internet.
