Crostini: setup lxd client in penguin container

source: kgersen/setup-lxd for crostini.txt

---

Prerequisites assumed -

1. Signed-in to Chromebook
2. 'Linux (Beta)' enabled in Settings

---

Get into a crosh session and get things going -

• Press ctrl+alt+t
• vsh termina (or vmc start termina if it's not running)
• lxc start penguin (if it's not running)

Enable LXD to listen to the network and setup a trust password -

• lxc config set core.https_address :8443
• lxc config set core.trust_password [some-password]

Create an Ubuntu container (if not existing) -

• lxc launch ubuntu:18.04 c1

Copy the lxc command from it -

• lxc file pull c1/usr/bin/lxc /tmp/lxc

Copy it to penguin -

• lxc file push /tmp/lxc penguin/usr/local/bin/
• rm /tmp/lxc
• lxc delete c1 (if you don't want it any longer)

Get termina address, note the host ip ([HOSTIP] here after) in the ipv4.address line -

• lxc network show lxdbr0

Make it the default remote so all LXD commands go to it by default -

• lxc remote add chromeos [HOSTIP] (use the password [some-password] used for lxc config...)
• lxc remote set-default chromeos

All done...

---

Test if it works -

• Launch 'Terminal' app
• lxc list
