LXD Profiles

Set of useful LXD profiles.

NOTICE: Please, remember that some profiles are templates that must be edited before adding them to LXD.

Profiles

• autofs.yaml: Profile to allow autofs tools to work properly.
• docker.yaml: Allow to run privileged Docker containers inside LXD.
• kmem.yaml: Profile to allow containers to access host's memory (read only).
• macvlan.yaml: Profile to add an ethernet interface to containers to get a public IP.
• proxy.yaml: Profile to set environment variables to set a Proxy Server.
• selinux.yaml: Profile to allow containers to access host's SELinux information.
• x11-apps.yaml: Profile to allow containers run X11 applications using host's display.

Install

In order to install a profile, run next commands:

lxc profile create **PROFILE_NAME**
lxc profile edit **PROFILE_NAME** < **PROFILE_FILE**.yaml

Apply

There are two ways assingning profiles to a container:

lxc profile assign C P1,P2  # assigns P1 and P2 profiles to container C removing other ones
lxc profile add C P  # adds profile P to container C without removing the others

Example output

user@host ~ $ lxc profile list

lxd-profiles's Issues

Create a script to generate a valid profile from a templated one

For example:

user@host ~ $ generate-profile.sh macvlan.yaml
Device name? [eth1]: 
Parent device name? [eth0]: ens3
[...generated profile replacing variables...]
user@host ~ $
