Profiles¶
Profile describe configuration options for containers in a re-usable way.
Manager methods¶
Profiles can be queried through the following client manager methods:
all() - Retrieve all profiles
exists() - See if a profile with a name exists. Returns boolean.
get() - Get a specific profile, by its name.
create(name, config, devices) - Create a new profile. The name of the profile is required. config and devices dictionaries are optional, and the scope of their contents is documented in the LXD documentation.
Profile attributes¶
config - config options for containers
description - The description of the profile
devices - device options for containers
name - The name of the profile
used_by - A list of containers using this profile
Profile methods¶
rename - Rename the profile.
save - save a profile. This uses the PUT HTTP method and not the PATCH.
delete - deletes a profile.
Examples¶
Profile
operations follow the same manager-style as
Containers and Images. Profiles are keyed on a unique name.
>>> profile = client.profiles.get('my-profile')
>>> profile
<profile.Profile at 0x7f95d8af72b0>
The profile can then be modified and saved.
>>> profile.config = profile.config.update({'security.nesting': 'true'})
>>> profile.update()
To create a new profile, use create with a name, and optional config and devices config dictionaries.
>>> profile = client.profiles.create(
... 'an-profile', config={'security.nesting': 'true'},
... devices={'root': {'path': '/', 'size': '10GB', 'type': 'disk'}})
