LXD will restore container state on reboot which is probably the case
here assuming those containers were running at the time the system was
stopped.

We have merged a fix a few days ago that makes boot.autostart override
this behavior, so that you can set it to "false" as you described above
and it'll do the right thing.


That should be in LXD 2.5 and then LXD 2.0.5.
