Synopsis

Management of LXD profiles

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
client_cert path		The client certificate file path. If not specified, it defaults to `$HOME/.config/lxc/client.crt`. aliases: cert_file
client_key path		The client certificate key file path. If not specified, it defaults to `$HOME/.config/lxc/client.key`. aliases: key_file
config dictionary		The config for the container (e.g. {"limits.memory": "4GB"}). See https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/rest-api.md#patch-3 If the profile already exists and its "config" value in metadata obtained from GET /1.0/profiles/<name> https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/rest-api.md#get-19 are different, they this module tries to apply the configurations. Not all config values are supported to apply the existing profile. Maybe you need to delete and recreate a profile.
description string		Description of the profile.
devices dictionary		The devices for the profile (e.g. {"rootfs": {"path": "/dev/kvm", "type": "unix-char"}). See https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/rest-api.md#patch-3
merge_profile boolean added in 2.1.0 of community.general	Choices: no ← yes	Merge the configuration of the present profile with the new desired configuration, instead of replacing it.
name string / required		Name of a profile.
new_name string		A new name of a profile. If this parameter is specified a profile will be renamed to this name. See https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/rest-api.md#post-11
snap_url string	Default: "unix:/var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket"	The unix domain socket path when LXD is installed by snap package manager.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	Define the state of a profile.
trust_password string		The client trusted password. You need to set this password on the LXD server before running this module using the following command. lxc config set core.trust_password <some random password> See https://www.stgraber.org/2016/04/18/lxd-api-direct-interaction/ If trust_password is set, this module send a request for authentication before sending any requests.
url string	Default: "unix:/var/lib/lxd/unix.socket"	The unix domain socket path or the https URL for the LXD server.

Notes

Note

Profiles must have a unique name. If you attempt to create a profile with a name that already existed in the users namespace the module will simply return as “unchanged”.
