Lxd

`virtualisation.lxd.agent.enable`

Whether to enable LXD agent. Type: boolean

Default

false

Example

true

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/virtualisation/lxd-agent.nix

`virtualisation.lxd.enable`

This option enables lxd, a daemon that manages containers. Users in the "lxd" group can interact with the daemon (e.g. to start or stop containers) using the {command}lxc command line tool, among others.

Most of the time, you'll also want to start lxcfs, so that containers can "see" the limits:

virtualisation.lxc.lxcfs.enable = true;

Type: boolean

Default

false

`virtualisation.lxd.lxcPackage`

The lxc package to use. Type: package

Default

`virtualisation.lxd.preseed`

Configuration for LXD preseed, see https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/howto/initialize/#initialize-preseed for supported values.

Changes to this will be re-applied to LXD which will overwrite existing entities or create missing ones, but entities will not be removed by preseed.

Type: null or (YAML value)

Default

null

Example

{networks = [{name = "lxdbr0";type = "bridge";config = {"ipv4.address" = "10.0.100.1/24";"ipv4.nat" = "true";};}];profiles = [{name = "default";devices = {eth0 = {name = "eth0";network = "lxdbr0";type = "nic";};root = {path = "/";pool = "default";size = "35GiB";type = "disk";};};}];storage_pools = [{name = "default";driver = "dir";config = {source = "/var/lib/lxd/storage-pools/default";};}];}

Type: boolean

Default

false

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/virtualisation/lxd.nix

`virtualisation.lxd.startTimeout`
