Hi guys. I have the following situation:
I have an Ubuntu 22.04 node, which used to have lxd v5 installed through snap. It used to have 3 containers, at the moment of remove the lxd using the snap remove lxd it did take a snapshot of all the containers, but when I try to import those snapshoted containers I got some errors.
First, the snapshots were deliver to me in .zip format, which when I try to import using the lxc import file_name.zip I get the Importing instance: 100% (108.71MB/s)Error: Unsupported compression error, weird because as I pointed I got the snapshots in .zip format.
So I needed to extract it and then compress it again using tar (tar -czvf containers.tar.gz file_contains_extracteds/)
Once I got the correct format, then I try to import it, but I get the following error:
lxc import containers.tar.gz
Importing instance: 100% (701.66MB/s)Error: Backup is missing at "backup/index.yaml"
When I look into the extracted .zip file I get:
ls
25112 archive.tgz common meta.json meta.sha3_384 user
And inside the common there are all the container’s folder:
ls common/lxd/storage-pools/default/containers/
monitor orch1 vrouter
So, the question is: How can I import lxc containers back from the snapshots the lxc create just before the lxc snap is removed?
