Show HN: Build a MAAS and LXD environment in 30 minutes with Multipass on Ubuntu

The idea was to make it much faster to get hands on with MAAS since not everybody can easily build a physical environment. I decided to use Multipass because of the cloud-init support.

I hoped I could get it to work easily on windows and mac, but had a few issues with nested VMs there. I'm thinking about how to un-nest them, but it might require a few multipass VMs on a bridge. Edit: I have had reports it works fine on Windows with Hyper-V.

Anyway the tutorial as it is should work just fine on Ubuntu for now. I hope people actually try it :).

People might also find the cloud-init setup interesting, auto installing MAAS, auto configuring it, setting up LXD, etc.
