# Reduce the list to your machine architecture, in my case and most it will be amd64
lxc image list ubuntu: amd64 |
The output table from list is not very clear. I don't understand what to reference to use What you reference when using the "launch" command . Will put explanation here once figured out. Here is what I can tellis the main part of the ALIAS name ignoring anything in brackets. For example to install and launch other distrobusions based off of the images: list which has all Linux distributions,
| Example "launch" Command Reference | Column | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ubuntu:16.04 | This will download from the Ubuntu image server grabbing the latest 16.04 matching your machines architecture, win in my case amd64. | |
| ubuntu:6041c5e200b6 | FINGERPRINT | Will specifically reference the specific image in the list. |
images:centos/7 | Go against the "images" image server, download the latest cantos version 7 matching your machines architecture. | |
| images:centos/6/amd64 | In this example, specifies Specifies the latest version 6 and specifies the architecture to use. |
At this point LXD is all setup and ready to use.
