LXD.RECOVER(1)

okay bestie, welcome to LXD - Container server(1) — yes that's the manual we're in, and yes you're about to become the main character of disaster recovery 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

lxd-recover — recover missing instances and volumes from existing and unknown storage pools ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lxd recover [flags]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Description: recover missing instances and volumes from existing and unknown storage pools 🫶

So like, this command is mostly for disaster recovery — the "my stuff vanished but the disk is still there" era of your life 😭. It's gonna ask you about unknown storage pools and attempt to access them, along with existing storage pools, and identify any missing instances and volumes that exist on the pools but are not in the LXD database. Then — and this is the iconic part — it will offer to recreate these database records. Recreate them!! 👑

Lowkey that's the whole plot. It doesn't do anything sneakily — it finds, it asks, it offers. You stay in charge, bestie 💜
