NAME

       autopkgtest-virt-lxd - autopkgtest virtualisation server using LXD

SYNOPSIS

       autopkgtest [...] -- lxd [options] image [-- extra lxc launch args...]

DESCRIPTION

       autopkgtest-virt-lxd  provides  an  autopkgtest  virtualisation  server  using  LXD. It creates temporary
       containers from the given LXD image name.

       Normally autopkgtest-virt-lxd will be invoked by autopkgtest.

REQUIREMENTS

       autopkgtest-virt-lxd makes no strict assumptions about the image. However, it is highly recommended  that
       the image has eatmydata installed, or at least that gets installed via setup commands.

       For production use, it is recommended to use autopkgtest-build-lxd(1) to generate an optimized image with
       autopkgtest's standard setup commands applied. Then these setup commands don't need  to  be  applied  for
       every  test.   This  is  particularly  necessary if you want to use --apt-source tests, i. e. use apt-get
       source in the test bed to download the package to test. Standard images from linuxcontainers.org  do  not
       have "deb-src" apt sources by default.

OPTIONS

       -r remote | --remote=remote
              Run container on given remote host instead of locally. See lxc remote list for available remotes.

       -d | --debug
              Enables debugging output.

       You  can  pass additional options to lxd launch: Anything after a -- gets appended verbatim to lxc launch
       image.

INPUT, OUTPUT AND EXIT STATUS

       The behaviour of autopkgtest-virt-lxd is as  described  by  the  AutomatedTesting  virtualisation  regime
       specification.

EXAMPLE

       Show available images on the standard linuxcontainers.org remote image server:

              lxc image list images:

       Run  the  tests  of  a  local built directory tree on the current Debian sid image from the above images:
       remote:

              autopkgtest my-package/ -- lxd images:debian/sid/amd64

       Run the tests in a local built directory  tree  from  a  local  LXD  image  desktop/i386,  ensuring  that
       eatmydata is installed:

              autopkgtest --setup-commands 'apt-get install -y eatmydata' dir/to/test/ \
                -- lxd desktop/i386

       Run  the  tests  of  the  gdk-pixbuf package on the current Debian sid image from the images: remote on a
       remote armhf host:

              lxc remote add armhf-test http://armhf.testlab.example.com:8443
              autopkgtest --setup-commands=setup-testbed gdk-pixbuf -- \
                 lxd --remote armhf-test images:debian/sid/armhf

       Build a local image with standard setup commands pre-applied from a remote standard image, and  run  gdk-
       pixbuf test in it:

              autopkgtest-build-lxd images:ubuntu/xenial/amd64
              autopkgtest gdk-pixbuf -- lxd autopkgtest/ubuntu/xenial/amd64
