💅 LXD — Command line client(1) 🎀

okay bestie, so this whole page lives under the LXD command line client manual, and it's about one very specific little icon: lxc-start. she's the one who actually gets your instances up. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

lxc-start — Start instances. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she starts things 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxc start [:] [[:]...] [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description: Start instances. literally the entire job description, and honestly? she ate. you point her at your instance(s) and she gets them running. periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --all[=false] — run against all the instances. every single one. no picking favourites 💀
  • --console[=""] — immediately attach to the console. like, right away, no waiting around — you're in the console the second it's up 🫶
  • --stateless[=false] — ignore the instance state. she's not asking questions, she's not reading the room, she's just going 🔥

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the ones she borrows from the main lxc command — not hers originally, but she rocks them anyway:

  • --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. every last crumb of information 🙈
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. local only, no long distance relationship 💅
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. your bestie when you're lost ✨
  • --project="" — override the source project. pick a different project to play in 🎀
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silence is golden, ngl 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. it's giving menu of menus 🌈
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. she will tell you everything 💜
  • --version[=false] — print version number. identity check ⭐

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

  • lxc(1) — go hang out with the parent, she's iconic too 👑
