Landscape On-premisis under LXD

[seanmahrt]

In the past I was able to install Landscape On-Premisis in an LXD container. It stopped working so I want to reinstall it again, but I'm getting an issue with rabbitMQ (or a password issue, not sure). I've destroyed the container a number of times and have other operational containers. Is it not supported? I didn't want to stand up a full virtual node, as it's much more taxing on the system.

Steps: (https://landscape.canonical.com/set-up-on-prem)

lxc create ubuntuenial landscape
lxc exec landscape bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:landscape/17.03
apt update
apt install landscape-server-quickstart

Host resolution might be the cause.

I have added "192.168.0.99 landscape" to /etc/hosts. I assume it tries to resolve the hostname without the domain at some point (the router would resolve the FQDN query).

We are having the same problem on a new Ubuntu 16.04.5 installation:

add-apt-repository ppa:landscape/18.03
apt-get update
apt-get install landscape-server-quickstart -y
