[SOLVED] LXC container won't start

[oguz]

it's a different issue: apache2.service: Failed to set up mount namespacing: Permission denied

you might need to enable "nesting" feature for the container

The nesting option worked. The container is operational again. Thank you both very much for your help @oguz and @Moayad !!

For my information, what exactly does the nesting option do? I have read this documentation but I don't see the link to my problem.

well it allows /sys and /proc to be mounted with read-write permissions, which then allows for example docker or systemd-nspawn to run in a container (although there are security implications with this of course, so it's recommended to run docker etc. in a VM)

for a while now there are issues/bugs with newer systemd versions (which probably won't get fixed afaik) and it can become necessary for some software to work properly in containers.
