The actual URL to the download has a single forward slash before rootfs.tar.xz: https://images.linuxcontainers.org//images/debian/trixie/amd64/default/20251230_05%3A24/rootfs.tar.xz

This is definitely not the issue since I can download debian trixie just fine.
Have you yet tried to download the image with the double slashes? this works just fine, you are also missed that there are two slashes between org and images.

I suspect some other issue, do you have any Diagnostics for me or something to further troubleshoot?

The plugin wouldn't work for all the other users who have the plugin installed including me.

However LXC has at times issues with their CDNs and incomplete downloads, downloads not working or aborting downloads.

You're right. It IS a mirror problem. More specifically my OPNsense firewall (ZenArmor) was blocking the domain.

Once I unblocked the domain, the LXC installed correctly.

Thanks!

I am using Unraid version 7.2.3. I've encountered an issue where the container management menu is not displaying fully.

As shown in the attached screenshot, when I click to open the menu for a container, the bottom part of the menu is cut off/truncated, making it impossible to see or select all the available options.

I have tried adjusting the browser zoom level, but the menu remains cut off regardless of the zoom setting.

Please try another browser or at least a Private window, this looks really strange and I really can't tell you what is causing that.

I didn't do anything.

With unraid v7.2.3 the backup with lxc plugin gets 504 gateway time-out. None "DONE-button" is displayed

Backup path is "/mnt/remotes/192.168.23.2_unraid_lxc_backup/Opencloud/" on a Synology which is online and available via ping from unraid host.

A backup file has been created on Synology:

How can I check if backup has been finished successfully and backup file can be used for restore?

Nothing to worry about, the backup will be running in the background when the gateway times out, this is usually the case when backing up really big containers.

I would recommend that you might trigger it from the an Unraid Terminal or via a User Script by using: lxc-autobackup

The backup should be finished just fine.

Apologies if it's been asked before. Do you think you might be interested in enhancing the LXC configuration to allow multiple storage paths? For example, to use paths on two pools?

LXC support is honestly one of my favourite aspects of using Unraid over the past year. It's so versatile and easy to spin up and down different environments for experimentation. And LXC is also how I group docker containers I want to run together on a single macvlan address.

You can already do that but that is pretty manual.

Create the Container as usual, move the rootfs folder from this container wherever you want (obviously the container should be stopped), the config file must remain in place where it is and point the rootfs path in the config file to wherever the rootfs is located afterwards, but please keep the backing filesystem in mind that it should match or you have to manually change it.

After updating Unraid from 7.2.3 to 7.2.4 (kernel 6.12.54-Unraid) my LXC containers stopped working with a "faulty config" error in the UI.
Then in saw that a newer version of the plugin was available on Github so i tried manually updating it, cause the community apps store still pulls the older one.

After some digging i found that lxc-start fails with:

lxc-start: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems the plugin package (LXC-6.0.6-1.txz) was compiled against OpenSSL 1.1 but Unraid 7.2.4 ships with OpenSSL 3, so the library is missing.

Can you please post your Diagnostics?

However it seems like my build system doesn't uploaded the package correctly, however can you please try to uninstall the LXC plugin (this won't delete your container), reboot and then install the LXC plugin again.

After setting your LXC path to the same directory alongside your filesystem backing driver everything should be to normal, hopefully.

The correct plugin is actually: LXC-6.0.6-2.txz

Please don't do that by manually doing things, the LXC plugin even has a built in function for searching newer version in the Settings menu.

Thanks a lot.

After uninstalling, reboot and reinstalling in unraid gui my containers are alive again

lxc-start --version now shows 6.0.6

The plugin settings page also shows the installed version.

You don't have to do anything from the CLI usually.

Hi,

If I only have one container, there is no backup or any other option. I can't delete it either.

What am I missing here?

edit: Ok, never mind, I have to scroll down, because the viewport is so small hiding the options.

Looks really weird.

I messed up something.

I changed the LXC Container URL to images.lxd.canonical.com.
Then tried to create new container but the UI changed and no drop-down select any more. Tried to create with the default debian/bullseye clicking Create button then the site reloads with different URL but nothing happens.

I changed back to the original images.linuxcontainers.org.

Still not working and the drop-down menu still missing.

No anything in the Unraid logs. I tried to check the browser console, but nothing there also.

Tried to reinstall plugin. Same as before.

I saw the CLI command and changed back to the canonical.com URL, then tried with the original linuxcontainers.org URL as well:

Canonical not working, but linuxcontainers working with CLI.

From the WebGUI still nothing happens.

Now what? How can i recover the original functionality? Also how can I use the canonical images?

Thanks,

Mark

AFAIK Cononical doesn't follow the default folder structure form lxc images and IIRC you need to have LXD installed which is here not the case as you an see in your screenshot from above:

I assume that you immediately tried it after you changed the URL back, correct?
You have to wait for at least 15 minutes after the list got updated again or you can delete the folder /tmp/lxc, this should also solve the issue.

I think that is not possible with LXC, you would need LXD for that which is not supported by this plugin.

Yes, I tried right after setting up. It is now working today again. I was not aware of this delay.

Thanks for your help.

in lattest unraid 7.2.4 there is a disply bug

The plugin would probably need an update.

I usually don't accept DM's what is the issue or is something not working in terms of LXC?

No issue, LXC working fantastic. Just had a couple of ideas I wanted to run by you that I don't want to post in the forum.

I've sent you a DM, you should be able to answer it.

Would LXC be a good place to install Ubuntu ? I'd like to see if I can run ubuntu, and install dockers in ubuntu, so I can run github apps like this . As it is now I keep running into the same problems like these command line options aren't available.

apt

git clone

docker build

docker-compose

pip install

I figure if I get ubuntu up and running, I can have a stable "home grown" environment to play with this app.

Are there complications running dockers in this fashion (running a ubuntu LXC to run ubuntu to run docker) ? Will it be hard to map to my windows PC microphone ? Will be able to access file from the UNRAID ?

Would it be smart for a newbie to use Debian LXC and install Ubuntu in that LXC ?

-=-=- EDIT -=-=

It looks like I don't need to install ubuntu ... as it already there ?
