I'm getting an error while trying to limit network bandwidth

the name of my container is "first"

root@ubuntu-1gb-blr1-01:~# lxc config device set first eth0 limits.ingress 1Mbit
error: The device doesn't exist

]

[stgraber]

That's because the "eth0" device is inherited from a profile.

If you want that limit to apply to all your containers, you shoud use "lxc profile set default eth0 limits.ingress 1Mbit".

If you only want to have the limit applied to this one container, then you need to override the "eth0" device at the container level. Something like this should do:

lxc config device add first eth0 nic nictype=bridged parent=lxdbr0 name=eth0 limits.ingress=1Mbit
