Gluu on LXD - Thu, Jun 3, 2021
If you are experiencing errors when installing Gluu, the Open Source digital identity server in LXD, this is because Gluu works in a chrooted environment by default. Errors like these should appear on systems with deb or RPM packages installed:
Jun 03 14:05:10 gluu systemd[1]: Starting Container gluu-server...
Jun 03 14:05:10 gluu systemd-nspawn[1546]: Failed to mount n/a (type n/a) on /opt/gluu-server (MS_REC|MS_SHARED ""): Permission denied
Jun 03 14:05:10 gluu systemd[1]: systemd-nspawn@gluu-server.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Jun 03 14:05:10 gluu systemd[1]: systemd-nspawn@gluu-server.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Jun 03 14:05:10 gluu systemd[1]: Failed to start Container gluu-server.

To resolve the problem, the container must be privileged and nesting must be enabled. The same profile settings are required for Docker and nested LXD containers:
security.nesting: "true"
security.privileged: "true"
It’s a Java application. In some cases, it may also require tunning of the kernel ulimits! Here is the documentation from from LXD: https://lxd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/production-setup/
