From: HERE.

DHCP server from LXD (not a system DHCP server).
If you have some other DHCP server on your host, it may conflict with the one by LXD. So, show us the output of

Create a macvlan network

Use lxc network create <network_name> type=macvlan parent=<host_interface> to create a macvlan network. Replace <network_name> with a name for your network and <host_interface> with the name of your host's network interface (e.g., eth0).

Configure the container to use the macvlan network

Add the macvlan network to the container's configuration using lxc config device add <container_name> <device_name> nic nictype=macvlan parent=<network_name>. Replace <container_name>, <device_name>, and <network_name> with the appropriate values.

Assign a static IP address to the container

The container will now be able to obtain an IP address from your DHCP server or you can assign it a static IP address using lxc config device set <container_name> <device_name> ipv4.address=<container_ip>/<subnet_mask>.

Verify connectivity

You should now be able to access the container directly using its IP address on the public network.

Routing Considerations

• Ensure your router has a route for the container's subnet
  If your container is on a different subnet than your router, you need to add a route to your router that directs traffic for the container's subnet to the host machine's IP address.


• Set up static routes on the host (if needed)
  If your router doesn't automatically route traffic to the container, you might need to add static routes on the host machine. Consult your router's documentation for instructions on how to add static routes.
