lxc: Show detailed info about a container.
$ lxc info [${remote}:]${container}
try on your machine

The command "lxc info [${remote}:]${container}" is used to get information about a specific LXC (Linux Containers) container.

Here's a breakdown of the command syntax:

  • "lxc info": This is the base command used to retrieve information about an LXC container.
  • "[${remote}:]": This part is optional and it specifies the remote LXD server. If omitted, it refers to the local LXD server. The remote parameter allows you to access LXC containers running on a different machine.
  • "${container}": This is the name or identifier of the LXC container for which you want to obtain information.

By running this command, you can view various details about the specified LXC container, such as its state, configuration, resources allocated, and more.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
