LXC.STORAGE.CREATE(1)

💅 NAME 💅

lxc-storage-create — bestie, this is the one that creates storage pools. That's it, that's the whole job. Slay.

This page lives inside the LXD - Command line client(1) manual, so like… keep that in mind, iykyk 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lxc storage create [:]  [key=value...] [flags]

Yeah, the [:] bit is looking a little empty airbrushed there — we're printing it exactly as we got it, no cap. You get your [key=value...] pairs and your [flags], periodt.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌨

Description: Create storage pools.

That's the vibe check: you point it at a pool and it makes the pool. Main character energy for storage. 🎀

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --target="" — the cluster member name (the autogen source literally leaves a stray `` dangling on the end of this one, we don't question it 💀)

---

🦋 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🦋

These cuties come free from the parent command, so you don't have to do anything to get them:

• --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages 👀
• --force-local[=false] — force it to use the local unix socket
• -h, --help[=false] — print help (our beloved)
• --project="" — override the source project (yes, another stray `` at the end here too, iconic behaviour from cobra 🙈)
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress info, if you're in your silent era
• --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view the sub-commands
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all the information messages, talk to me
• --version[=false] — print the version number

---

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

Make a dir pool called s1:

lxc storage create s1 dir

And if you want to feed it a config file from stdin:

lxc storage create s1 dir < config.yaml
    Create a storage pool using the content of config.yaml.

Literally so easy. Config file goes in, pool comes out. 🔥
