LXC.CONFIG.DEVICE.OVERRIDE(1)

💅 lxc-config-device-override — LXD command line client (1)

okay bestie so this is a page from the LXD - Command line client manual — yes, that's the manual name, we're folding it in right here so you don't have to read it twice ✨ — and today's main character is lxc-config-device-override, which literally copies profile-inherited devices and overrides configuration keys. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lxc-config-device-override — copy profile inherited devices and override configuration keys 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

(yes, that doubled space in there is exactly how it's written, no cap, don't come for me 😭)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

For real, here's the deal, straight from the page:

Copy profile inherited devices and override configuration keys 💖

So you've got a device that got inherited from a profile, and you want it to be yours, with your own config keys on top — that's this command. It's giving main character energy for one specific device. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

these are the family traits, inherited from the parent command, not this one's own:

• --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. everything. the whole lore. 🔍
• --force-local[=false] — force it to use the local unix socket 💀
• -h, --help[=false] — print help, classic, iconic, we stan 🫶
• --project="" — override the source project. default is the empty string "" 👀
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silence is golden, lowkey 🌙
• --sub-commands[=false] — use together with help or --help to view sub-commands 🌈
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. talkative era ✨
• --version[=false] — print version number, so you know which one you're dealing with 🔥

heads up bestie: every one of these defaults to =false (except --project, which defaults to "") — so you gotta actually opt in 💅
