Internals¶
These reference guides document the internal workings of LXD and are primarily intended for contributors and developers.
Runtime behavior¶
The LXD client and daemon can use environment variables for paths, proxies, and advanced features. Daemon startup, shutdown, and signal handling are also documented here.
Security and isolation¶
Specific system calls from containers can be intercepted and handled safely by the LXD daemon. User namespaces use UID/GID idmaps to isolate containers from the host.
