Repeatable LXD installations

Cant you just target the LTS release channel?

In addition to the latest track, the LXD team also maintains 3 LTS (long term support) tracks that receive only bug fixes and do not receive any new features. These are much ‘slower’ tracks that do not change frequently.

The stable tracks are currently: 4.0, 3.0 and 2.0.

Just like the latest track, you can also specify your risk preference on these tracks by specifying stable, candidate or edge. However these risk levels are still relative to the overall channel’s risk (i.e the 4.0/edge channel is less risky than the latest/edge channel as it will only include bug fixes and not new features).

E.g.
sudo snap install lxd --channel=4.0/stable
