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
