💖 lxd-import — LXD Container Server, section 1, bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this one is a lil awkward. you're looking at the manual page for lxd-import from LXD - Container server, section 1 of the manual. but the tea is... this command literally doesn't do anything anymore. it's giving "we've moved on". let me explain, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

lxd-import — bestie, this command has been replaced with lxd recover. that's it. that's the whole personality.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxd import [flags]

yep, that's the shape of it. lxd import, plus whatever flags you throw at it. short, sweet, and also... not really a thing anymore. iykyk 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the description, and it is extremely to the point:

This command has been replaced with lxd recover. Please use that instead.

that's it. that's the entire description. the devs really said "go use lxd recover, periodt" and logged off. 💅

so if you came here hoping for a big juicy breakdown of what lxd import does... there isn't one, because the command got glow-up'd into lxd recover. please use lxd recover instead. fr fr. 🙏

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these aren't even lxd-import's own flags — they're the ones it inherited from its parent command, which is a whole vibe. here's every single one, no skips:

  • -d, --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. every last one. she's chatty and we respect it 💜
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic. the icon. always there for you 🫶
  • --logfile="" — path to the log file. default is the empty string "".
  • --syslog[=false] — log to syslog. off by default, obviously.
  • --trace=[] — log tracing targets. default is the empty list [].
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. not just the loud ones, the informational ones too ✨
  • --version[=false] — print version number. because sometimes you just gotta know what era you're in 🌈
lowkey important: every single one of these shows =false or an empty default, so none of them are turned on out of the box. you gotta ask nicely.

💀 HISTORY 💀

  • 27-Jun-2026 — auto generated by spf13/cobra

not me getting emotionally attached to a page that was literally generated by a machine 😭

🌟 sign-off 🌟

this whole page was auto generated by spf13/cobra, dated Jun 2026, and it belongs to LXD - Container server, manual section 1. so yeah — lxd-import is retired, lxd recover is the new girl in town, and you should go read up on her instead. slay, stay safe, and remember: lxd recover. bye bestie 💖✨🦋
