Setup LXC on debian 10

Install packages and add unprivileged user

apt install lxc libvirt0 libpam-cgfs bridge-utils uidmap
useradd -r lxcuser
cat /etc/s*id|grep lxcuser

Put the following in /etc/default/lxc-net

USE_LXC_BRIDGE="true"
 
#### /etc/lxc/default.conf 
lxc.idmap = u 0 <Replace with output of cat> <Replace with output of cat>
lxc.idmap = g 0 <Replace with output of cat> <Replace with output of cat>
lxc.mount.auto = proc:mixed sys:ro cgroup:mixed
lxc.apparmor.profile = unconfined
lxc.apparmor.allow_nesting = 1
lxc.net.0.type = veth
lxc.net.0.link = lxcbr0
lxc.net.0.flags = up
lxc.net.0.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx

Give root acces to unprivileged user space

echo "root:<Replace with output of cat>:<Replace with output of cat>" >> /etc/subuid
echo "root:<Replace with output of cat>:<Replace with output of cat>" >> /etc/subgid 

Enable and start lxc network service

systemctl enable --now lxc-net

enable unprivileged user namespaces for kernels < 5.10

echo kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -p
