💅 NAME

lxc-storage-volume-set — bestie, this is the one that sets storage volume configuration keys. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS

lxc storage volume set [:] [/] =... [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION

okay so real talk, here's the description, direct from the source:

Set storage volume configuration keys 💖

and because the universe loves backward compatibility (iconic of it tbh), you can still set a single configuration key the old way:

lxc storage volume set [:] [/]

no cap, it still works. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -p, --property[=false] — flip this on to set the key as a storage volume property instead. lowkey important distinction 💅
  • --target="" — the cluster member name. yep, that's the whole thing. 🎯

🌸 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌸

these bad boys come down from the parent command, so you get them for free, periodt:

  • --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. every last one. 😭
  • --force-local[=false] — force it to use the local unix socket instead 🔌
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic. the icon. 👑
  • --project="" — override the source project 🗂️
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silence is golden ngl 🧚
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use this with help or --help to view sub-commands 🌈
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. she talks a lot and we love her for it 💬
  • --version[=false] — print version number ⭐

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

okay bestie, here's the part where you gotta provide the type of the storage volume if it is not custom. the supported types are custom, image, container and virtual-machine. write that down fr fr.

sets the size of a custom volume "data" in pool "default" to 1 GiB 🔥
