Hi 
I try to write my own lxd preseed file and containers cloud-init files to use and restore volume. my test here assume that my volume named ‘myvolume’ is a volume linked to the /home folder of the container. The commands used to create the volume are lxc storage volume create default myvolume and lxc storage volume attach default myvolume mycontainer /home
For the moment my preseed file for lxd default config is:
config:
core.https_address: '[::]:8443'
core.trust_password: true
images.auto_update_interval: "0"
networks:
- config:
ipv4.address: 10.111.174.1/24
ipv4.nat: "true"
ipv6.address: none
description: "My Network"
name: lxdbr0
type: bridge
storage_pools:
- config:
source: /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/default
description: ""
name: default
driver: dir
profiles:
- config: {}
description: Default LXD profile used by virtbazx
devices:
eth0:
name: eth0
network: lxdbr0
type: nic
root:
path: /
pool: default
type: disk
name: virtbazx-default
cluster:
And my container cloud-init file is:
