LXC.CLUSTER.ENABLE(1)

💅 NAME

lxc-cluster-enable — bestie, this is the one that turns clustering on for a single LXD server that is not clustered yet. Like, a fresh solo server getting its first friend 🫶

This is a page from LXD - Command line client(1), and yes we're doing the whole thing, no skipping ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

lxc cluster enable [:]  [flags]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So here's the tea, and it's literally in the description:

Enable clustering on a single non-clustered LXD server

This command takes a non-clustered LXD server and turns it into the first member of a brand new LXD cluster — and the cluster gets the name you hand it. Main character origin story, honestly 👑

Okay but real talk, there's a requirement, and it's not optional: LXD has to already be available on the network. No vibe-checking your way around this one.

Wanna check if you're good? Run this:

lxc config get core.https_address

If it shows an IP address and a port, or both — congrats, LXD is already available on the network, you're slaying 💖

If no value is set? Then set it, like this:

lxc config set core.https_address

Do that first, then come back. The way that order is not negotiable 😭
