Résumé du paquet

CLI client for interacting with LXD

lxc

historique

Historique du projet et usages

The Homebrew `lxc` formula packages the LXD command-line client named `lxc`, not the older low-level LXC tool suite. LXD is Canonical's system container and virtual-machine manager, and `lxc` is its default CLI for managing instances, remotes, images, networks, projects, storage, and server settings.

Historique du projet

The LXD repository was created in November 2014, and the official documentation carries LXD contributor copyright years from 2014 through 2026. Canonical's documentation describes LXD as a modern, secure system container and virtual machine manager with a REST API and support for workloads from a single development machine to clustered production infrastructure.

The official `lxd and lxc` explanation distinguishes LXD from LXC: LXC is the low-level userspace interface for Linux kernel containment features, while LXD is a more user-friendly system built on top of LXC with network-controllable management features.

Historique d'adoption

LXD adoption grew from Linux container users who wanted machine-like system containers with images, profiles, networking, storage pools, remotes, and clustering. The official README documents installation of the daemon on Linux and the `lxc` client on Linux, Windows, and macOS, including Homebrew for macOS.

By July 2026, the official GitHub repository had roughly 4,800 stars and 1,000 forks, and Canonical maintained both feature releases and long-term-support release branches such as 4.0, 5.0, and 5.21.

Modes d'utilisation

The `lxc` command is the everyday LXD client. Official man pages list subcommands for launching, listing, stopping, copying, moving, snapshotting, exporting, importing, and configuring instances, plus image, profile, project, network, storage, cluster, and remote management.

The client stores remotes and aliases in `config.yml` under `$LXD_CONF` or `~/.config/lxc`. For remote authentication it can use TLS client certificate and key files, optional client CA material, OIDC token JSON files, and per-remote cookie jars.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

This package is significant because its name is historically confusing: package users may expect LXC, but the formula installs the LXD client named `lxc`. For package managers, it is a cross-platform client for a Linux-only daemon and has important configuration and credential files outside the package prefix.

Chronologie

2014: Public `canonical/lxd` repository created.
2021: LXD 4.0 LTS line still maintained through later point releases.
2024: LXD 5.21 LTS line active.
2026: LXD 6.9 feature release and LTS point releases published.
