CPU Emulation (aarch64->x86_64) with LXD + QEMU

LXD Support
1

Hi! I have an ARM (aarch64) CPU, and I want to run x86_64 based apps on it. Unfortunately, the app I tried didn’t work with box64, so I want to try with LXD + QEMU (with x86_64 Emulation). However, when I searched the internet, I could not find any valuable information.

I could do just QEMU, but it would be out of scope. Since I want to run it as a LXD container.

Thanks!

I’m afraid that LXD doesn’t support QEMU emulation. So the VMs must always match the host’s architecture.

Ah, I see… So I have to roll up a QEMU VM…
Thank you so much for answering!
