[lxc-users] LXD: modify IP of snapshot before starting

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, Steven Spencer!

> My Google search turned up empty, so I'm turning to the list to see if this is possible:


> * In LXD I make a copy of a container, but want to create a new container from it
> * The container has a static assigned IP address, so if I bring up the new
> container with the other one running, I'm going to end up with an IP conflict
> * What I'd like to be able to do is to change the IP of the snapshot before creating a container out of it.


> Is that possible, or am I missing another method.  I've already done this

That's because you're doing it wrong.
You should have a template container which "never" online, from it you could
create copies, edit them and start them as you pleased.

> * Stop the original container
> * create the new container with the snapshot
> * modify the IP of the new container
> * start the original container 


> If it isn't possible, I'll continue on as I've been doing.
