Has "lxc init" been deprecated?

LXD
1

Hello,

When I want to create an lxd container without starting it, “lxc init” does the job.

However: “lxc --help” does not show this command, nor does “man lxc”, and there’s no “lxc-init” manpage.

Has this command been deprecated, and if so, what’s the preferred replacement? I checked “lxc launch” but I can’t see a flag which means “don’t start”

I am using lxd 3.0.3-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 (stock from Ubuntu 18.04).

Thanks,

Brian.

no, but lxc --help shows this:

Flags:

Ah, thank you.
