LXC.CONFIG.DEVICE.ADD(1)

💅 LXC.CONFIG.DEVICE.ADD(1) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the LXD - Command line client(1) manual, and buckle up because this one's a little cutie 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

lxc-config-device-add — literally just Add instance devices. that's the whole job, and she does it slayfully 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lxc config device add [:]   [key=value...] [flags]

(and yes the spacing in there is exactly how it came out of the box, don't come for me 😭)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the description is, and I quote in spirit: Description: Add instance devices.

that's it. that's the vibe check. she adds instance devices and she goes home 💅✨

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these aren't even her own flags, she inherited them from her parent commands like the nepo baby icon she is 🧚 — all of them default to false unless it says otherwise, iykyk:

• --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. every last one. the full tea ☕
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. no remote shenanigans, we're staying home 🏠
• -h, --help[=false] — print help. your little safety net when you're lost 🫶
• --project="" — override the source project. (the original page literally has two stray backticks hanging off the end of this line — iconic typo behavior, but I'm not touching it 🙈)
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silent mode. main character who says nothing 🔇
• --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. peek behind the curtain 👀
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. she's a talker 💬
• --version[=false] — print version number. who are you, what's your build, what's your star sign ✨

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

okay these two examples ATE, no crumbs, here they are exactly as written:

  lxc config device add [<remote>:]instance1 <device-name> disk source=/share/c1 path=/opt
      Will mount the host's /share/c1 onto /opt in the instance.

that one will mount the host's /share/c1 onto /opt in the instance. periodt 🔥

  lxc config device add [<remote>:]instance1 <device-name> disk pool=some-pool source=some-volume path=/opt
      Will mount the some-volume volume on some-pool onto /opt in the instance.

and that one will mount the some-volume volume on some-pool onto /opt in the instance. pool said what she said 💜
