Using lxc remote list I saw that the general images URL was sourced from https://images.linuxcontainers.org which for me redirects to https://uk.lxd.images.canonical.com.
Looking at the format (using lxc init --help) it seems to be lxc init [[<remote>:]<image>] [<remote>:][<name>] [< config [flags], and I’m not sure how all the columns from the webpage above can be mapped to lxc init.
It seems like the “distribution” column maps to <image>. So if I wanted to install archlinux, I’d run lxc init images:archlinux, but then how would I define the “variant” of cloud or default?
Similarly if I wanted to install Ubuntu from images: (I know the ubuntu: remote exists) how would I specify the “release” between bionic and focal?
Aside from the --help options, I’ve tried to look for documentation in the places below, but couldn’t find my answer there.
Similarly, I can’t seem to find the valid values for lxc init --type.
