💖 NAME 💖

lxc-to-lxd — bestie, this is the lil glow-up machine that converts your LXC containers into LXD ones. Fr fr, it's giving "moving out of your old apartment into a way cuter one." 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so picture this: you've been living in LXC land (which, no shade, was fine), and now you wanna move into LXD. This is the command line client for container migration — that's it, that's the whole job. It handles the whole moving-day vibe for you. 🎀

No cap, it's literally just a CLI that does your container migration. Main character energy, but make it a utility. 💅

🌸 Usage: 🌸

lxc-to-lxd [flags]

Like. That's the whole shape of it. Flags only, no positional args, she's lowkey minimal. 👑

🫶 Flags: 🫶

  • --all — Import all the containers. Every single one. The whole squad, no container left behind. 😭💖
  • --containers — Container(s) to import. This is where you tell her exactly which ones you want, because not everyone gets an invite to the party. ✨
  • --debug — Print debugging output. Turn this on when things get messy and you need to see the receipts. 🔍
  • --delete — Delete the source container. Yep, she said what she said — this one takes the original out, so know that before you commit, bestie. 🙈
  • --dry-run — Dry run mode. Rehearse the whole thing without actually doing it. Practice run, zero consequences, we love a safe trial. 🌈
  • -h, --help — Print help. Your little safety net when you forget how any of this works (relatable). 🫶
  • --lxcpath — Alternate LXC path. The default is "~/.local/share/lxc", so if your stuff lives somewhere else, point her there. 📁
  • --rsync-args — Extra arguments to pass to rsync. Hand it your own custom rsync flags and she'll hand them right over. 🧚
  • --storage — Storage pool to use for the container. Pick which pool the new container gets to swim in. 🌊
  • --version — Print version number. Because sometimes you just gotta know what era of software you're dealing with. ⭐
Heads up bestie: that --delete flag is not playing around. It deletes the source container. No takebacks, no undo button, periodt. 💀
