          This option enables lxd, a daemon that manages
          containers. Users in the "lxd" group can interact with
          the daemon (e.g. to start or stop containers) using the
          {command}`lxc` command line tool, among others.

          Most of the time, you'll also want to start lxcfs, so
          that containers can "see" the limits:
          ```
          virtualisation.lxc.lxcfs.enable = true;
          ```

          Enables lxd to use zfs as a storage for containers.

          This option is enabled by default if a zfs pool is configured

          Enables various settings to avoid common pitfalls when
          running containers requiring many file operations.
          Fixes errors like "Too many open files" or
          "neighbour: ndisc_cache: neighbor table overflow!".

          Time to wait (in seconds) for LXD to become ready to process requests.
