LXC.CONFIG(1)

💅 LXC-CONFIG — the lxc config glow-up guide

okay bestie, welcome to the LXD command line client manual page (that's the whole manual, (1) section, and yeah we're diving straight in) ✨

🌸 NAME

lxc-config — manage instance and server configuration options, periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS

lxc config [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Description, straight up:

Manage instance and server configuration options 💖

That's the whole vibe. it's the top-level config command, and it's giving "main character energy" for all your instance config + server config needs 🫶

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

these bad boys come down from the parent command, so you get them for free, no cap:

• --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages 🔥 (default is false, so like, off unless you ask)
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket 💀 (default false)
• -h, --help[=false] — print help 🥺 (default false)
• --project="" — override the source project 🎯 (default is the empty string "")
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information 🤫 (default false)
• --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands 👀 (default false)
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages 🌈 (default false)
• --version[=false] — print version number ⭐ (default false)

lowkey note: every one of these is written as [=false], so the default for each is literally false — don't come for me, that's just what the page says 💅
