LXC.IMAGE.COPY(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to lxc-image-copy — the part of the LXD command line client (that's LXD - Command line client(1), for the record ✨) that lets you copy images between servers. that's it, that's the vibe. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lxc image copy [:] : [flags]

no cap, that's the whole shape of it. slap a [flags] on there and you're cooking. 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ok so, straight from the source: copy images between servers. iconic behavior honestly.

but here's the tea about the auto-update flag 🫖 — it tells the server to keep this image up to date. and it comes with conditions, because of course it does:

• it requires the source to be an alias
• and that alias has to be public

that's not me being dramatic, that's literally the rules. respect them. 🔥

---

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• --alias=[] — new aliases to add to the image. yes plural, yes a list. give that image a whole wardrobe. 💖
• --auto-update[=false] — keep the image up to date after the initial copy. (remember the alias + public requirement from above, bestie — it's not optional 👀)
• --copy-aliases[=false] — copy the aliases over from the source. bring the whole friend group along. 🫶
• --mode="pull" — the transfer mode. one of pull (the default, main character energy), push, or relay. pick your fighter. ⭐
• -p, --profile=[] — the profile to apply to the new image. dress it up. 🎀
• --public[=false] — make the image public. share with the class. 🌈
• --target-project="" — copy to a project that's different from the source. literally a relocation arc. 🧚
• --vm[=false] — copy virtual machine images. yes, VMs get love too. 💜

---

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the ones you didn't ask for but got anyway, because family. 🙈

• --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. chaos, but make it informative. 💀
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. stay local, stay cozy. 🍓
• -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic. the icon. 👑
• --project="" — override the source project. (yes, source. --target-project is the other one. don't mix them up, i'm begging 😭)
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silence is golden, ngl. 🤫
• --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. the lore deepens. 🦋
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all the information messages. not me wanting every single detail… 🔥
• --version[=false] — print the version number. identity check. periodt. 💅

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

• lxc-image(1) — go read the parent, it's giving main character. ✨
