Image auto update

LXD
1

Hi,
I have a custom image on my image server and I want to setup HA of image servers. After searching forums I got some auto update flag to use while copying that image on slave image server, but the image is not auto updating.
Command I ran to fix copy it on slave server=lxc image copy image-server:w2 local: --alias w2 --auto-update

I suspect the issue here is that the image isn’t public.

The target LXD recorded the source information for the image but as it doesn’t have credentials for the source server (your client has that), it will be unable to detect changes in the image alias.

@stgraber I have already added both master and slave imagers in each others remote list.

Remotes are purely a client CLI concept, the server has no such concept.
