Quite some negative voices about LXC on this mailing list.
When I tried LXC years ago it was a sad state of affairs indeed. But
Debian Linux was going to drop kernel support for Linux Vserver, and
they hinted in the Debian wiki that LXC would be the future, so I hopes
for LXC progress.
Every now and then I looked at LXC and it was only making slow progress,
and the command line tools were very cumbersome to use.

However, LXD is very different. Easy to set up in Ubuntu.
It has nice command line name completion.
For example, type in : sudo lxc exec t.. <tab> and it will complete to
sudo lxc exec test-server (Where test-server is the name of your container).
By default LXD creates containers which have a different root UIG/GID in
the containers for security reasons. That can cause some confusion when
you are copying files as root from the host to a container directory,
but once you understand how to fix those permissions it is fine.

With LXD you can even run Docker inside a container!
