NAME

       autopkgtest-build-lxd - Create or update autopkgtest container for autopkgtest-virt-lxd

SYNOPSIS

       autopkgtest-build-lxd image

DESCRIPTION

       autopkgtest-build-lxd creates or updates an LXD image which is optimized for autopkgtest's
       LXD runner autopkgtest-virt-lxd(1).

       It builds a temporary container from an existing given image, runs autopkgtest's  standard
       setup-commands/setup-testbed  script,  and  publishes  it  as  a  new image with the alias
       autopkgtest/distro/release/architecture.

ENVIRONMENT

       If the $AUTOPKGTEST_KEEP_APT_SOURCES environment variable is set  to  a  non-empty  value,
       autopkgtest-build-lxd will keep whatever /etc/apt/sources.list was present in the existing
       image.

       Otherwise, if the $AUTOPKGTEST_APT_SOURCES_FILE environment variable is set to a non-empty
       value,   for   example  AUTOPKGTEST_APT_SOURCES_FILE=/home/me/mydistro/sources.list,  then
       autopkgtest-build-lxd will read that file (on the host system)  and  use  it  to  populate
       /etc/apt/sources.list  in  the  container;  or if the $AUTOPKGTEST_APT_SOURCES environment
       variable  is  set  to  a  non-empty  value,  for   example   AUTOPKGTEST_APT_SOURCES=$(cat
       /home/me/mydistro/sources.list),   autopkgtest-build-lxd   will  write  it  directly  into
       /etc/apt/sources.list in the container.

       You can specify an apt proxy  to  use  in  the  container  in  the  $AUTOPKGTEST_APT_PROXY
       environment  variable. If you have an apt proxy configured on the host, the container will
       automatically use this, otherwise there is no default.

       For dist-upgrading image to a newer release you can specify the destination release in the
       $RELEASE environment variable. This is useful when a new distribution series has just been
       opened and there are no standard images for that available yet.

EXAMPLE

       Build a local autopkgtest container image for Debian sid i386, based on the  stock  Debian
       image from the public images.linuxcontainers.org remote:

       $ autopkgtest-build-lxd images:debian/sid/i386
