Sure, inside the container, please keep in mind that this is basically a VM, or better speaking a full distribution in a container

sorry, but how do I change the ip? I did some research but nothing helped me to get a proper result. I also was not able to find the file where the ip address is stored

You have to search how to change the IP for the distributions.

For example for Debian you have to do something like that in the container itself:

Edit/Create /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network

And fill it with something like that:

[Match]

Name=eth0

[Network]

Address=10.0.0.99/24

Gateway=10.0.0.5

DNS=10.0.0.5

#IPv6AcceptRA = false

After that you have to restart the container and the new IP will be applied.

Again, you have to see it more like a VM instead of a Dicker container.

@ich777 Thank you. Will try it. To this I have not been guided, it always somehting like networks in var lib

Again, this depends completely on the distribution.

This was just an example for Debian Bookworm/Trixie

Am on Unraid 7.1.4. and having installed the plugin, I attempted to deploy Ubuntu 24.04-lts but was thrown this error:-

On another machine (also 7.1.4) it deploys flawlessly.

Permissions and ownership of the lxc folder appear the same.

I do not recall making any changes on the 2nd machine. Both compute have different mounts/shares but are configured to the folders directly. Would appreciate some help from the experts here on where to look....

If multiple people reporting issues I suspect that the CDN or a mirror is having issues or the LXC container registry is down, may I ask where you are located in the world?

Are you sure that it isn't using the cache, LXC is designed in that way if you deploy a image it is cached for a few days and if you redeploy images then it's coming from the local cache.

Over here in Austria it seems to work fine, I tried a Ubuntu Noble image.

Does this page open for you? This should only list the distributions:

Reinstalled plugin did not work for me. I am in Malaysia. When accessing the URL, the CDN is in SG I get this

Looks like a CDN issue though I can deploy from another machine from the same LAN

Hello, can I deploy a specific version of OpenWRT using a local file? I don't want to use the original version of OpenWRT. How should I proceed

Can you explain a bit further what you mean by that?

What do you mean by a local file? What version do you want to deploy?

I have a self-compiled OpenWRT, and I want to deploy it directly without downloading from the server.

I'm not 100% sure but if you clone the folder structure from a lxc container then it should work just fine:

.
├── lxc

├── CONTAINERNAME

│   ├── config

│   └── rootfs

│   ├── bin

│   ├── boot

...

By the way, can I install a graphical interface for LXC? I want to install a piece of software for testing and then connect via NVC. Is that possible?

Yes, but you have to install that in the container so to speak something like xvnc so to speak a virtual X server, alongside with noVNC and then you can connect to the container via noVNC or directly to the xvnc server via VNC.

You could of course also use something like KASM or similar things to get a desktop or graphical environment in the container to display in a Browser.

However that's all up to you, I can only give support for the plugin itself and this is very container specific.

I am located in China and have already used a proxy, but it still times out

I can only imagine that the Proxy is really slow and that this causes the UI to time out.

However if you want to deploy a container manually you can always do that from the command line:

lxc-create --name CONTAINERNAME --template download -- --dist ubuntu --release RELEASE --arch amd64

You have to replace CONTAINERNAME of course with the name that the container should have and RELEASE with the release that you want have, I assume noble is what you want to have.

This should work since from the terminal it won't run into the timeout, except if the connection is that slow that it times out.

Hi,
during holiday season I was able to continue the story for static ip and went with a different solution:
In the config file of the LXC I add the line:
lxc.net.0.hwaddr = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
You can get there, when you stop the container and click again on the icon and select show/edit config.

And then based on the static mac, I set up static IP in my router.

Maybe somebody is looking for this information.

I've installed/uninstalled this plugin twice now and can't create any LXC, the downloads always fail because there's a few double forward-slashes in the URL.

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

Here's the result from a direct terminal entry.

lxc-create --name DebianLXC --template download -- 
--dist debian --release trixie --arch amd64
Downloading the image index
Downloading the rootfs
ERROR: Failed to download https://images.linuxcontainers.org//images/debian/trixie/amd64/default/20251230_05:24//rootfs.tar.xz
