Description
I read about this tool that converts a file system to a container
https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/lxd-3-0-0-has-been-released/1491 detailed in 3.0.0 release (we are running 3.0.3 on Osgeo7)
The tool is called lxd-p2c
and instructions for using detailed here: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/howto-use-lxd-p2c/3574
I'm thinking we can use it to migrate some of our older VMs to osgeo7 and then work later on upgrading them.
Not sure which is a good one to try with. I suppose I can take one of my virtualbox VMS I don't care much of and experiment with it on my own lxd server to make sure I have the process right

FYI I've already used this tool and it's working great.
So far I've used it to pull an image of the following -- many flagged as separate tickets so I'll close this out and remainder I do I will record as separate tickets.
