How do I enable image auto-updating in LXD?

When I installed LXD, I disabled image auto-updating since I knew I was going to be traveling and using slow internet connections for a week or so.

Now that I'm back home with a fast connection, I'd like to turn auto-update back on. How do I do that?

You can enable auto-update on a per-image basis by editing the config with

lxc image edit <img>

and setting auto_update: true as a top-level item in the config

Thanks for the answer! In my case, auto_update: true was already set on the individual images; it was just that during lxd init the overall auto-update mechanism was disabled. It was a little tricky figuring out what <img> meant; I did lxc image list and found that I could edit them by fingerprint, but does the fingerprint change over time?

Information about LXD image handling can be found here, in the docs.

When you disable image auto-update using lxd init, the consequence can be seen by running lxc config show:

$ lxc config show
config:
 images.auto_update_interval: "0"

To reset to the default (update the images every six hours), this can be unset as follows:

$ lxc config unset images.auto_update_interval
