I've been a big advocate for LXD. Running multiple servers at work where I set up containers that I gave collegues access to and such. I find that the "VM's but not" approach quite nice.

I've since moved away completely, just before the recent moves by Canonicle. Most of if not all of my reasons to move away from LXD relate to Snap or other sides of Canonicle leadership.

Out of curiosity, why? Wouldn't it be easier to give them a URL and tell them to execute "docker run ..." to get the same environment?

My use case is to let others use the HW I manage, not to have a known linux environment.

Either if someone wants to run something as an internal service (logging, ect) which should not depend on their desktop being online, or they need beefy HW.
