Bug Description
I have read the available Landscape docs and FAQ but there are a few things I have been unable to find answers to that I would like to see addressed in the docs or the FAQ.
The main bit of missing info is how do I register a Ubuntu machine (with landscape-config presumably) as a container rather than being a full install? The only relevant mention of containers I can see in the docs is on the quickstart installation page:
Which says the free version supports up to 50 LXC containers. Is LXD not supported too?
Also, I presume that OPL doesn't auto-update the server(s) upon which it is installed and that the user is required to install the landscape client on the landscape server(s) so that it may update itself? It would be nice if the OPL server auto-added itself so that there is always at least one registered computer on first use. Does anyone NOT want to update their OPL server(s) too?
information type: | Proprietary → Public |
Landscape automatically determines what type of machine is being registered by the system information, so there is no need to declare a machine as a container.
