Lxc/lxd is a fantastic piece of software that I wish more people would try. Especially if people already on Ubuntu, Debian and Arch.

You absolutely don't need to be a cloud person to use containers. For example I use lxc on my laptop to keep different projects separate and test new software.

I agree -- it also offered more isolation (user namespaces) from very early on and is way more featureful (live migration has been a thing in LXC for a while IIRC).

Have any links to share that you really liked as examples? I'm using docker compose to do what I think you are saying you do with just pure lxc. I would love to know more about how you do it.

Not really. I personally use each container like a full VM with it's own software. I don't try to combine a lot of small containers into a system the way you would do with docker.

Here is a general tutorial in anyone wants to test lxc:
