 I read about this tool that converts a file system to a container

 https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/lxd-3-0-0-has-been-released/1491
 detailed in 3.0.0 release (we are running 3.0.3 on Osgeo7)

 The tool is called lxd-p2c

 and instructions for using detailed here:
 https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/howto-use-lxd-p2c/3574

 I'm thinking we can use it to migrate some of our older VMs to osgeo7 and
 then work later on upgrading them.

 Not sure which is a good one to try with.  I suppose I can take one of my
 virtualbox VMS I don't care much of and experiment with it on my own lxd
 server to make sure I have the process right
