Debian Jessie LXC Template
Debian Jessie is an outdated release of Debian, but you might need to install it in order to test migration from it.
I usually use LXC, and when I try to setup a Jessie release with lca-create, it fails because it is no more in the LXC official regitry.
I then needed to look for a way to build one of my own.
I looked for a YAML definition file here: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/looking-for-debian-jessie-yaml-file/11422/3, I got an answer to get it from a previous commit: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lxc/lxc-ci/ef3a9803d760d81532caf832248f2f39093b21c8/images/debian.yaml
I then installed distrobuilder then launched image building with
sudo ${HOME}/go/bin/distrobuilder build-lxc debian.yaml \ -o image.architecture=amd64 \ -o image.release=jessie --debug
The nex step is to create the container not with a "download" template, but with a "local" one:
lxc-create -n d8-test -t local -- --metadata meta.tar.xz --fstree rootfs.tar.xz
