Reload iptables rules from lxd without a complete restart of lxd service?

LXD

Hi,

I have a personal service to manage my iptables rules and when I restart iptables service I lose all rules from lxd.
So I need to restart lxd service to reload their iptables rules.

Is there a way to “reload” a specific lxd service to reload iptables rules from lxd without a complete restart of lxd snap service with a shutdown of containers ?

Thank you for any help ;o)

systemctl reload snap.lxd.daemon will reload just the LXD API without affecting running instances.

Finally it was a stupid question :o(
On manjaro lxd installed without snap, I can restart the exiting iptables service and apparently lxd.service reloading are not implemented.

On ubuntu and lxd installed with snap, I can use your solution but I can restart the non existing iptables service ;o)

Thanks

If you modify the network in question (I think just editing the description) will trigger a reload that will reapply the firewall rules.

In my case lxd v4.16 without snap installation, it does not works when modifying the field “description”
The trigger works fine when changing the IP range: “ipv4.dhcp.ranges” for example

this is good behavior ;o)
