&gt;&gt;That article is almost a year old now.<p>Not much has changed, at least as far as running LXC&#x2F;LXD using something other than Ubuntu as the host os.  Not LXC&#x27;s fault exactly, just the underlying set of requirements, kernel&#x2F;systemd&#x2F;etc patches, assuming you want the unpriv containers and systemd based containers to run.<p>Technically, you could find and apply all of those to Debian, Redhat, whatever, and use them as the host OS, but it wouldn&#x27;t be a trivial effort.
