LXC.NETWORK.ACL.CREATE(1)

💅 lxc-network-acl-create — the glow-up page

okay so real talk, this is from LXD - Command line client(1) and it's literally the manual for lxc-network-acl-create, which does exactly what it says on the tin: it creates new network ACLs. bestie, we're making access control lists today and it is giving infrastructure era ✨

✨ NAME ✨

lxc-network-acl-create — Create new network ACLs 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxc network acl create [:] [key=value...] [flags]

the way that [:] is just sitting there in brackets and the [key=value...] is how you smuggle config in, iykyk 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description:

Create new network ACLs

that's it, that's the vibe. you want a new network ACL, you run this, it creates one. periodt. 🔥

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these aren't even this command's own flags, they're the inherited ones from the parent commands, and yes you get all of them, no crumbs left behind:

• --debug[=false] — Show all debug messages. turn this on when you want the tea, the full tea 🍓
• --force-local[=false] — Force using the local unix socket. no remote shenanigans, strictly local energy 🏠
• -h, --help[=false] — Print help. the classic, the icon, the "bestie I'm lost" button 💖
• --project="" — Override the source project`` — yes the original literally has that stray pair of backticks hanging off the end, so I'm keeping it, character for character, no cap 🙈
• -q, --quiet[=false] — Don't show progress information. main character silence 🤫
• --sub-commands[=false] — Use with help or --help to view sub-commands. it's giving "look deeper" 🔍
• -v, --verbose[=false] — Show all information messages. the opposite of quiet, highkey chatty 💬
• --version[=false] — Print version number. for when you literally just need to know which era you're in ⭐

💜 EXAMPLE 💜

okay the practical part, get into it:

lxc network acl create a1

lxc network acl create a1 < config.yaml
    Create network acl with configuration from config.yaml

so one is just "make an ACL called a1", and the second one pipes config.yaml in on stdin so it stashes that config right into the new ACL on the way in. slay, config-driven, obsessed 🌈

no cap, one important thing: this page never says what happens if the ACL already exists, or what [:] actually does in practice — so I'm not gonna invent it. the facts stay the facts, only the vibe changed 💅
