If you have install libvirtd, you need to stop it and kill dnsmasq libvirtd process, to avoid conflict with dhcp. If you don't ynh-dev start will fail because the lxc container won't be able to get an ip.
On **Debian Buster**, I had to re-patch the driver.rb of vagrant-lxc plugin with [this version](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc/2a5510b34cc59cd3cb8f2dcedc3073852d841101/lib/vagrant-lxc/driver.rb) (especially the `roofs_path` function). I also had to install `apparmor` then `systemctl restart apparmor` for `lxc-start` to work. # You need to add /snap/bin to your PATH variable ... maybe add this to your .bashrc!
PATH=$PATH:/snap/bin
Also check instruction on https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/lxc-setup-on-debian-stretch/.
If you run **Archlinux**, this page should be quite useful to setup LXC: https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc/wiki/Usage-on-Arch-Linux-hosts
On **both Debian and Archlinux**, typically `/etc/default/lxc-net` and `/etc/lxc/default.conf` should look like this :
```
$ cat /etc/default/lxc-net

LXC_NETMASK="255.255.255.0"

lxc.net.0.link = lxcbr0
lxc.net.0.flags = up
lxc.net.0.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx

On **Debian Buster**, for backup stuff to work correctly with apparmor, I also had to add: Then you shall initialize LXD which will ask you a bunch of question. Usually
answering the default (just pressing enter) to all questions is fine.
```bash

```
This should create a fresh Debian Stretch LXC, install Yunohost inside and save
the result as `ynh-dev-base` which can then be used to create your actual dev
LXC. (This base can then be used to recreate a fresh Yunohost LXC if you need to
destroy your work LXC)
Then start your actual dev LXC using :
```bash
$ ./ynh-dev start $ ./ynh-dev start
``` ```
This should download an already built LXC from `build.yunohost.org`. If this does not work (or the LXC is outdated), you might want to (re)build a fresh LXC locally with `./ynh-dev rebuild`. After starting the LXC, your terminal will automatically be attached to it. If you later disconnect from the LXC, you can go back in with `./ynh-dev attach`. Later, you might want to destroy the LXC. You can do so with `./ynh-dev destroy`.
