Hi there!
Can libvirtd (lxc driver) run as a non-root user, but with the right CAPs?
No, there's not currently any support for running the LXC driver under a
non-root libvirtd. In theory we could support this, but it'd require a
fair bit of dev work and help from various setuid binaries, which makes
it kind of unpleasant. It'd also require a kernel with full user
namespace support for unprivileged users, which make distros are not
currently willing to turn on.
