Hi there,
I’m hitting an issue trying to add a model on the ‘localhost’ cloud (lxd) given that the controller lives on microk8s.
Given a fresh install:
$ snap list
juju 3.6.6 31166 3/stable canonical✓ -
lxd 5.21.3-c5ae129 33110 5.21/stable canonical✓ -
microk8s v1.31.7 7968 1.31-strict/stable canonical✓ -
Proceeding with the following setup goes fine:
$ juju clouds
...
Clouds available on the client:
Cloud Regions Default Type Credentials Source Description
localhost 1 localhost lxd 1 built-in LXD Container Hypervisor
microk8s 1 localhost k8s 1 built-in A Kubernetes Cluster
$
$ juju bootstrap microk8s k8s-ctrl
$
$ juju add-cloud -c k8s-ctrl localhost
$
$ juju clouds
...
Clouds available on the controller:
Cloud Regions Default Type
localhost 1 localhost lxd
microk8s 1 localhost k8s
...
However once I try to add a model on ‘localhost’, I get an error:
$ juju add-model --controller k8s-ctrl lxd-model localhost --debug --show-log

Obviously LXD is installed and initialized. I can successfully juju bootstrap localhost tmp-ctrl and then add a model to make sure of that.
Furthermore, I can also successfully expose LXD on a local port, add-cloud it as a remote cloud with the IP to both the client & microk8s controller and proceed with adding a model and deploying stuff… So this really points toward an integration issue with the snap socket.
Any idea what going on and/or any suggestions as to how to get this setup working?
Thanks.
