How do I enable image auto-updating in LXD?
Solution 1:
You can enable auto-update on a per-image basis by editing the config with
lxc image edit <img>
and setting auto_update: true as a top-level item in the config
Solution 2:
Information about LXD image handling can be found here, in the docs.
When you disable image auto-update using lxd init, the consequence can be seen by running lxc config show:
$ lxc config show
config:
images.auto_update_interval: "0"
To reset to the default (update the images every six hours), this can be unset as follows:
$ lxc config unset images.auto_update_interval
