This minimalist base is for Docker, not LXC. You may be able to bend it to work on LXC, although AFAIK you will need to install some additional packages. Whilst LXC can leverage the host's kernel, it still essentially requires a full OS. As Docker design is slightly different, that's not the case.

Please also note, that at the time this post was published, we were hoping to transition to this TKLX model for v15.0. But we've had to change tack and now v15.0 will be using the current monolithic build model. As soon as that is out, we hope to reboot the TKLX development. We'll probably continue to develop TKLX in parallel to the current appliance build method. Thus v15.x will remain monolithic builds, with TKLX development using proper semantic versioning v0.1. At this point the plan is to have TKLX v1.0 ready by the time Debian Buster (aka Debian 10) and so our TurnKey v16.0 release will be built using TKLX containers. Whether it works out like that remains to be seen, but fingers crossed...
