Compatibility Issues between LXD, Docker, and CRC
If you install Docker or CRC or have it already installed LXD containers will fail to obtain an IP address and the Ansible provisioning will fail.

Please be aware that there are known compatibility conflicts between LXD, Docker, and CRC. If you have Docker or CRC installed, or if you plan to install them, please note that LXD containers may encounter difficulties in acquiring an IP address, leading to potential failures in Ansible provisioning.
To ensure a smooth operation, it is advised to take the following precautions:
- If you already have Docker or CRC installed, consider temporarily disabling or uninstalling them before working with LXD containers and Ansible provisioning.
- If you intend to install Docker or CRC alongside LXD, please be prepared for potential networking issues with LXD containers. Extra steps might be required to resolve these conflicts.
- Consider using
podmanandpodman-composeinstead ofdockeranddocker-compose. Podman does not conflict with LXD.
By carefully managing the installation and configuration of LXD, Docker, and CRC, you can minimize the chances of IP address conflicts and guarantee a successful provisioning process using Ansible.
Please proceed with caution and refer to the respective documentation of each tool for further guidance on resolving compatibility issues.
