I'm exploring Proxmox for the first time (having first considered LXD on Ubuntu 16.04 but failed to find a suitable web management gui).
Timing was perfect with this test release as I'm testing anyway, so I thought I'd try. Manual install on fresh Jessie build.
Initial impressions very positive with 2 VMs and a Jessie lxc container, however I've hit issues trying to create an Ubuntu container...
Neither the 15.10 image from your downloads or a 16.04 image from the Ubuntu published templates will start correctly. Systemd is failing early on, so while I can get a shell in the container, nothing is set up (eg. no network).
I can't be sure having not used a previous Proxmox version, but at least the 15.10 build is tried and tested so it seems to be a systemd issue caused by this release?
Starting 15.10 the messages are:
Starting 16.04 slightly different:
Changing 16.04 over to upstart now works fine, so that's my workaround for now (in fact I've saved a new template based on that for the short term).
Trying to diagnose I see previous mentions in the forum of issues with lxc and older systemd versions, but as noted in the above, both these Ubunutu releases are on newer versions than the jessie host. I also updated a jessie container with systemd-sysv, and that starts OK.
