.TH autopkgtest-build-lxd 1 2015 "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
autopkgtest-build-lxd \- Create or update autopkgtest container for autopkgtest-virt-lxd

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B autopkgtest-build-lxd
.I image

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

It builds a temporary container from an existing given image, runs
autopkgtest's standard
.B setup-commands/setup-testbed
script, and publishes it as a new image with the alias
\fBautopkgtest/\fIdistro\fR/\fIrelease\fR/\fIarchitecture\fR.

You can specify an apt proxy to use in the container in the
.B $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 \fIimage\fR to a newer release you can specify the
destination release in the
.B $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.

.SH EXAMPLE

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

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