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 networks

get() - Get a specific network, 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¶

name - The name of the network

type - The type of the network

used_by - A list of containers using this network

Profile methods¶

rename - Rename the 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'}})
