💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to lxc-image-import — the part of the LXD - Command line client(1) manual that teaches you how to import images into the image store. yes. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lxc image import || [] [:] [key=value...] [flags]

that's it. that's the line. copy it exactly, i'm not joking 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description:

Import image into the image store. literally what it says on the tin, no notes 💅

Directory import is only available on Linux and must be performed as root. like, actual root, not "i ran sudo once in 2023" root. 🔥

Descriptive properties can be set by providing key=value pairs. Example: os=Ubuntu release=noble variant=cloud.

so you can just sprinkle your metadata in there like seasoning and it slay 💖

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • --alias=[] — new aliases to add to the image. give it a cute nickname, it deserves one 🫶
  • --public[=false] — make image public. default is false, so it's lowkey private until you say otherwise 👀

⭐ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ⭐

these ones come from the parent command, they're like the hand-me-downs but make it ✨useful✨

  • --debug[=false] — show all debug messages. default false. for when you really need to see everything 💀
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. default false 🧚
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. default false. the classic. the icon 👑
  • --project="" — override the source project. default is "" 🎀
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. default false. for the girlies who don't want to watch the little bar go 🌈
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. default false 🦋
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. default false. loud and proud 📣
  • --version[=false] — print version number. default false ⭐
