✨ NAME ✨

lxd-shutdown — tell LXD to shut down all its containers and then dip out 💅

(and yeah, this whole page lives in the LXD - Container server manual, section 1 — welcome, bestie 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxd shutdown [flags]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so, real talk: this tells LXD to start a clean shutdown of all the containers, and once that's done, LXD shuts itself down and exits. Bye. Gone. Logging off. 👑

Heads up though — this can take quite a while, because containers can genuinely take a long time to shut down, especially if a non-standard timeout was configured for them. So like… don't panic, it's not frozen, it's just doing its little shutdown ritual. 🐢✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -f, --force[=false] — force the shutdown instead of waiting for running operations to finish``
  • -t, --timeout=0 — number of seconds to wait before giving up``

🦋 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🦋

(these are the ones it borrows from the parent command, so they're lowkey everywhere, iykyk)

  • -d, --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages 🔍
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help
  • --logfile="" — path to the log file``
  • --syslog[=false] — log to syslog
  • --trace=[] — log tracing targets``
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all the information messages
  • --version[=false] — print the version number
