when using the snap-package it seems there are no manuals installed anymore. Any way to get those? Is there an alternative to the manuals other than lxc help <command> and friends? What I am looking for is a browsable documentation of all options for all commands on one page - offline.
LXD has been configured so that it automatically uploads to ReadTheDocs (LXD)a fresh set of generated HTML documentation (markdown→HTML) upon a new commit.
ReadTheDocs (LXD) has a section to download the HTML files at https://readthedocs.org/project/lxd/downloads/ but those tarballs with HTML files have not been updated since 2016. It appears there is some issue there because those HTML files are successfully generated and uploaded to the online HTML website. There is just an issue with compressing them into a ZIP file and uploading them to https://readthedocs.org/project/lxd/downloads/ @stgraber mentioned that there has been a technical issue with generating PDFs, so PDFs are not available.
Currently, the snap package does not include documentation.
I suppose that if there was documentation, it would probably be placed in `/snap/lxd/current/share/.
My view is that most users would use the online documentation, so they would be covered by https://readthedocs.org/projects/lxd/
If there is need, it should be possible to create a snap package lxd-docs that has offline documentation in HTML, PDF and possible man pages. Should be quite doable.
