How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install lxc lxc-libs lxc-devel lxc-extra lxc-templates
2. cp /etc/lxc/default.conf ~/.config/lxc/default.conf
3. sudo usermod --add-subuids 100000-165536 $USER
4. sudo usermod --add-subgids 100000-165536 $USER
5. echo "lxc.id_map = u 0 100000 65536" >> ~/.config/lxc/default.conf
6. echo "lxc.id_map = g 0 100000 65536" >> ~/.config/lxc/default.conf
7. sudo "root:100000:65536" > /etc/subuid
8. sudo "root:100000:65536" > /etc/subgid
9. sudo "$USER veth lxcbr0 10" > /etc/lxc/lxc-usernet
10. exec su -l $USER
11. lxc-create -t download -n n1 -- -d centos -r 6 -a amd64
12. lxc-start -n n1 -F

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 13:12:01 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 15:31:31 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 3 Martin Stefany 2016-12-25 17:41:26 UTC
Is there any plan to support unprivileged containers in Fedora at all? Or even LXD? This thing was closed as EOL for F23, while even F25 doesn't support it. Can somebody switch it to Rawhide and provide some status, please?
