[lxc-users] Mysterious lxd server communication with Internet

[Free Ekanayaka]

Hello Michael,

see:

https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/image-handling.md#auto-update

Presumeably you started some container in the past with a command like:

lxc launch ubuntu:18.04

so the lxd server internally recorded the fact that you asked for an
18.04 image. From that point on, it will try to refresh that image at
regular interval (unless images.auto_update_interval is set to 0).

Cheers,

Free
