Add LXD VM support

[swalkinshaw]

Follow-up to #346 which adds Linux VM support via LXD

[MikeiLL]

This has been making me very happy so far. Worth updating my OSX to Ventura for. One thing to note, unless I missed a Trellis-cli upgrade, trellis ssh development is trying to connect as vagrant, while this Lima box is initialized with $(whoami) as the admin user, so fails as there is no vagrant user.

[swalkinshaw]

@MikeiLL not really relevant to this PR specifically. You probably wanted #346

Regardless, yeah it's a known issue but trellis vm shell is the replacement command since it's VM specific.

[alex-galey]

Thank you @swalkinshaw for this promising feature ! Byebye Virtual Box :)

I gave a try and I had to set the container as a privileged container so it can map 1000 uid to start it :

~/trellis-cli/test.dev$ ../trellis-cli vm start

~/trellis-cli/test.dev$ lxc config set test-dev security.privileged true

Now the container starts, but another issue is I didn't get an IPV4 for it, this is maybe due to my host config or something. If it is the case, I will try later on another machine.

Also, what are the next steps in bringing this feature towards release ?

I am not a go developer but I can help you test and debug

[swalkinshaw]

Thanks for testing this out @alex-galey. My memory isn't fresh on this, but I definitely ran into the uid mapping and maybe the networking one too.

Basically it started to get a bit complicated and I had enough things to improve for Lima at the time so I just left this. And then I haven't had as much time to devote to Trellis.

Does the IP listed from lxc network list (10.204.254.1) actually work? (eg for SSH)?

[alex-galey]

My pleasure, I also fiddled around with lxd a couple of years back and was able to use lxc for local development with Trellis at that time. My reference thread was this one.

I cannot connect to the container with this IP (it is the bridge IP btw, not the container IP which only has a ipv6) :

I am running this in a Xen environment and this could cause the network issue, I will try this elsewhere in some time.
