Image Servers
LXD has 3 image server lists by default,
Image Server LIst | Purpose | Comment |
---|---|---|
ubuntu: | Ubuntu stable images. | We'll be working with this one. |
ubuntu-daily: | ||
images: | All Linux distributions. | For example you can load a RedHat Linux alternative distrobution. |
Pulling Image Server Lists
Let's look at the ubuntu: list,
lxc image list ubuntu: | less +--------------------+--------------+--------+-------------------------------------------------+---------+----------+-------------------------------+ | ALIAS | FINGERPRINT | PUBLIC | DESCRIPTION | ARCH | SIZE | UPLOAD DATE | +--------------------+--------------+--------+-------------------------------------------------+---------+----------+-------------------------------+ | p (5 more) | 6041c5e200b6 | yes | ubuntu 12.04 LTS amd64 (release) (20161205) | x86_64 | 156.47MB | Dec 5, 2016 at 12:00am (UTC) | +--------------------+--------------+--------+-------------------------------------------------+---------+----------+-------------------------------+ | p/armhf (2 more) | c19b1fff3336 | yes | ubuntu 12.04 LTS armhf (release) (20161205) | armv7l | 135.19MB | Dec 5, 2016 at 12:00am (UTC) | +--------------------+--------------+--------+-------------------------------------------------+---------+----------+-------------------------------+ | p/i386 (2 more) | ce5c6821eebb | yes | ubuntu 12.04 LTS i386 (release) (20161205) | i686 | 139.28MB | Dec 5, 2016 at 12:00am (UTC) | +--------------------+--------------+--------+-------------------------------------------------+---------+----------+-------------------------------+ ...
The output table from list is not very clear. I don't understand what to reference to use the "launch" comment. Will put explanation here once figured out.
