Re: [lxc-users] rename veth interfaces on the host

[lxc-users] backup strategies for lxd + zfs

Hi, I'm on Ubuntu Xenial running LXD from PPA + a ZFS storage backend. I've been reading everything I could find on backup strategies, but I've not found anything "official" or that even looked like a best practice so I thought I'd ask the list. First thing first, I think everybody agrees that

Re: [lxc-users] rename veth interfaces on the host

[lxc-users] Can you update templates without full image rebuild?

I'm cheap, so I don't have great storage on my dev boxes and I have some custom templates that I want in my images. My current process is something like. lxc publish contain --alias=foo lxc image export foo extract metadata, add templates, mod the metadata.yaml, create meta.tgz and root.tgz

[lxc-users] rename veth interfaces on the host
