The command "lxc profile edit" is used to edit an existing LXD profile in a container.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "lxc" stands for Linux Container, which is a lightweight virtualization technology that provides operating system-level virtualization.
- "profile" refers to a predefined set of configuration settings that can be applied to LXD containers. It helps in managing and standardizing container configurations.
- "edit" is the command to modify or update an existing profile.
The command is followed by two arguments:
- "${profile_name}" should be replaced with the name of the LXD profile that you want to edit. The variable notation "${profile_name}" implies that it should be substituted with the actual name.
- "< ${config-yaml}" is an input redirection used to provide a YAML file containing the new configuration settings for the profile. "${config-yaml}" should be substituted with the path and name of the YAML file that holds the updated profile configuration.
In summary, the command is used to modify an existing LXD profile by providing a YAML file containing the updated configuration settings for the profile.
