Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged PR #1385 as commit e85e0779b, removing LXD raw.idmap's hard-coded UID 1000 assumption for Launchpad bug 1700703; PR #1904 later corrected mapping order.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #1385 merged as commit e85e0779b and stopped assuming UID 1000 when configuring LXD raw.idmap. PR #1904 later corrected the host/container mapping order in commit 6bd4c9e59.

| #1588 lxd: use SUDO_UID for ID mapping | snapcraft | merged | Merged PR #1588 as commit 695794f4c, changing LXD ID mapping to use SUDO_UID and fixing Launchpad bug 1719996. | |
| #1904 lxd: raw.idmap expects host and container id respectively | snapcraft | merged | Merged PR #1904 fixed LXD `raw.idmap` argument order so host UID maps to container root (0), instead of mapping both IDs to the host user; commit 6bd4c9e59. | |
| #769 LXD idmap improperly set for high uids and gids | craft-providers | closed | Fixed by merged PR #98 (76a2d3a): LXD raw.idmap now maps the host UID and GID separately, correcting ownership for high, mismatched IDs. | |
| #1629 lxd: fix the unit test for the user id map | snapcraft | merged | Merged as commit e820e119e (#1629), fixing the LXD user ID-map unit test under root execution after #1588 changed ID mapping to use SUDO_UID. | |
| #388 LXD config set raw.idmap random not applied | craft-providers | closed | Fixed by merged PR #386, which corrected LXC instance locking during creation so raw.idmap is applied. | |
| #98 lxd: pass id for host mount uid mapping | craft-providers | merged | Merged #98 added an application-provided ID for LXD host-mount UID mapping while retaining the running user's UID as the default, resolving #97. | |
| #97 Filesystem uid mapping incorrect in lxd instance | craft-providers | closed | LXD host-mount ID mapping was fixed by #98 (05d4834), then refined by merged #780 (5717e2c), which sets UID and GID maps separately. | |
| #18 providers: fix id mapping in lxd project mount | rockcraft | merged | Merged PR #18 fixed LXD project mounts to map the host directory owner rather than the current UID, preventing file-creation failures when their IDs differ. | |
| #780 fix(lxd): set uid map and gid map separately | craft-providers | merged | Merged PR #780 as commit 5717e2c, fixing #769 by configuring LXD UID and GID maps separately; approved by two reviewers. | |
| #259 Cannot launch lxd instance with high uids | craft-providers | open | LXD launches failed for host UIDs above 65,535; commit 5717e2c and PR #780 now configure separate UID and GID raw.idmap entries, resolving the reported failure. |
