I wanted to try setting up a Plex Media Server on my Turris Omnia using LXC, but no matter which distro I try to download with lxc-create -t download I get:
Downloading the image index
Downloading the rootfs
ERROR: Failed to download http://repo.turris.cz/lxc//images/Debian/Stretch/aarch64/2019-12-11/rootfs.tar.xz
lxc-create: lxccontainer.c: create_run_template: 1201 container creation template for Plex failed
lxc-create: lxc_create.c: main: 274 Error creating container Plex
My Turris version is: 3.11.10
I was thinking to just swap out the lxc-download template file for the one from linuxcontainers.org, but they don’t have the aarch64 and armv7l architecture builds. Would the arm64 available there run fine on the Omnia?
Can you please include the full output in your post? Unfortunately, the snip which you included is not enough. It seems that you chose aarch64 for Turris Omnia, and the download fails, which is right. You should use armv7l.
I’ve just tried to install Debian Stretch on Turris Omnia and it works.

Do not use containers on internal flash, they can wear it down really fast!!!
