create() panics

[michaelhenkel]

Hi,

I'm trying the unmodified demo.rs. Binary compiles fine but trying to run gives me:

thread 'main' panicked at src/main.rs:13:14:
Failed to create container rootfs: Error { num: 0, str: "" }
note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace

Any idea?

Have you started the lxc service?

[michaelhenkel]

from what I can tell, yes:

snap services Service Startup Current Notes lxd.activate enabled inactive - lxd.daemon enabled active socket-activated lxd.user-daemon enabled inactive socket-activated

CLI based creation of containers and vms work. Is there any other service I need to start? In snap or apt repos there doesn't seem to be any additional lxc service.

Thanks!

sorry, lxc service is started but in "exited" state

My bad, you don’t need to start the lxc service, but you need to have privileges (Creating unprivileged containers as a user or running example has root).
