Why so incredulous about removing docker?

Did you read the part right before about how the networking interferes with LXD? "remove docker" is a pretty damn good solution to those types of problems as Docker notoriously hacks iptables and screws up all sorts of other apps that rely on it to do networking work. I've had to do that on my desktop in order to get bridges working in kvm (I started using podman instead which plays nicely with kvm).

What alternative solution do you offer instead for fixing the LXD networking?



There's no need to be so defensive. HN has a lot of web developers and, for better or worse, docker is an integral part of their workflow. So any guide brushing off "yeah just remove docker" with no further explanation will naturally be met with incredulity...


Thanks that's valuable feedback. I didn't mean to sound defensive!


Are these issues true for Podman as well? Podman's drop-in ability vs. Docker seems impressive so far for me, but I have yet to really stretch it.


Nope! Podman does things different and works very well with other network tools like kvm and lxd.
