description: How to setup a LXD server on gentoo

## Introduction

I have used LXD for many years successfully, I was never satisfied with the docker way of doing container images pulling who knows what from who knows where. Until recently I managed full machine containers running Alpine Linux and was very happy with the simplicity of it.

## Installation

```sh
touch /etc{/subuid,/subgid}
usermod --add-subuids 1000000-1065535 root
usermod --add-subgids 1000000-1065535 root
emerge -q app-emulation/lxd
/etc/init.d/lxd start
rc-update add lxd default
```

## Initial configuration

```sh
myth /etc/init.d # lxd init
