# API extensions

The changes below were introduced to the LXD API after the 1.0 API was finalized.

They are all backward compatible and can be detected by client tools by
looking at the `api_extensions` field in `GET /1.0`.

## `storage_zfs_remove_snapshots`

A {config:option}`storage-zfs-volume-conf:zfs.remove_snapshots` daemon configuration key was introduced.

It's a Boolean that defaults to `false` and that when set to `true` instructs LXD
to remove any needed snapshot when attempting to restore another.

This is needed as ZFS will only let you restore the latest snapshot.

## `container_host_shutdown_timeout`

A {config:option}`instance-boot:boot.host_shutdown_timeout` container configuration key was introduced.

It's an integer which indicates how long LXD should wait for the container
to stop before killing it.

Its value is only used on clean LXD daemon shutdown. It defaults to 30s.

## `container_stop_priority`

A {config:option}`instance-boot:boot.stop.priority` container configuration key was introduced.

It's an integer which indicates the priority of a container during shutdown.

Containers will shutdown starting with the highest priority level.

Containers with the same priority will shutdown in parallel.  It defaults to 0.

## `container_syscall_filtering`

A number of new syscalls related container configuration keys were introduced.

* {config:option}`instance-security:security.syscalls.deny_default`
* {config:option}`instance-security:security.syscalls.deny_compat`
* {config:option}`instance-security:security.syscalls.deny`
* {config:option}`instance-security:security.syscalls.allow`

See [Instance configuration](instance-config) for how to use them.

```{note}
Initially, those configuration keys were (accidentally) introduced with
offensive names. They have since been renamed
(`container_syscall_filtering_allow_deny_syntax`), and the old names are no
longer accepted.
```

## `auth_pki`

This indicates support for PKI authentication mode.

In this mode, the client and server both must use certificates issued by the same PKI.

See {ref}`security` for details.

## `container_last_used_at`

A `last_used_at` field was added to the `GET /1.0/containers/<name>` endpoint.

It is a timestamp of the last time the container was started.

If a container has been created but not started yet, `last_used_at` field
will be `1970-01-01T00:00:00Z`

## `etag`

Add support for the ETag header on all relevant endpoints.

This adds the following HTTP header on answers to GET:

* ETag (SHA-256 of user modifiable content)

And adds support for the following HTTP header on PUT requests:

* If-Match (ETag value retrieved through previous GET)

This makes it possible to GET a LXD object, modify it and PUT it without
risking to hit a race condition where LXD or another client modified the
object in the meantime.

## `patch`

Add support for the HTTP PATCH method.

PATCH allows for partial update of an object in place of PUT.

## `usb_devices`

Add support for USB hotplug.

## `https_allowed_credentials`

To use LXD API with all Web Browsers (via SPAs) you must send credentials
(certificate) with each XHR (in order for this to happen, you should set
[`withCredentials=true`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/withCredentials)
flag to each XHR Request).

Some browsers like Firefox and Safari can't accept server response without
`Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true` header. To ensure that the server will
return a response with that header, set {config:option}`server-core:core.https_allowed_credentials` to `true`.

## `image_compression_algorithm`

This adds support for a `compression_algorithm` property when creating an image (`POST /1.0/images`).

Setting this property overrides the server default value ({config:option}`server-images:images.compression_algorithm`).

## `directory_manipulation`

This allows for creating and listing directories via the LXD API, and exports
the file type via the X-LXD-type header, which can be either `file` or
`directory` right now.

## `container_cpu_time`

This adds support for retrieving CPU time for a running container.

## `storage_zfs_use_refquota`

Introduces a new server property {config:option}`storage-zfs-volume-conf:zfs.use_refquota` which instructs LXD
to set the `refquota` property instead of `quota` when setting a size limit
on a container. LXD will also then use `usedbydataset` in place of `used`
when being queried about disk utilization.

This effectively controls whether disk usage by snapshots should be
considered as part of the container's disk space usage.

## `storage_lvm_mount_options`

Adds a new `storage.lvm_mount_options` daemon configuration option
which defaults to `discard` and allows the user to set addition mount
options for the file system used by the LVM LV.

## `network`

Network management API for LXD.

This includes:

* Addition of the `managed` property on `/1.0/networks` entries
* All the network configuration options (see [Network configuration](networks.md) for details)
* `POST /1.0/networks` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `PUT /1.0/networks/<entry>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `PATCH /1.0/networks/<entry>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `DELETE /1.0/networks/<entry>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `ipv4.address` property on `nic` type devices (when `nictype` is `bridged`)
* `ipv6.address` property on `nic` type devices (when `nictype` is `bridged`)
* `security.mac_filtering` property on `nic` type devices (when `nictype` is `bridged`)

## `profile_usedby`

Adds a new `used_by` field to profile entries listing the containers that are using it.

## `container_push`

When a container is created in push mode, the client serves as a proxy between
the source and target server. This is useful in cases where the target server
is behind a NAT or firewall and cannot directly communicate with the source
server and operate in pull mode.

## `container_exec_recording`

Introduces a new Boolean `record-output`, parameter to
`/1.0/containers/<name>/exec` which when set to `true` and combined with
with `wait-for-websocket` set to `false`, will record stdout and stderr to
disk and make them available through the logs interface.

The URL to the recorded output is included in the operation metadata
once the command is done running.

That output will expire similarly to other log files, typically after 48 hours.

## `certificate_update`

Adds the following to the REST API:

* ETag header on GET of a certificate
* PUT of certificate entries
* PATCH of certificate entries

## `container_exec_signal_handling`

Adds support `/1.0/containers/<name>/exec` for forwarding signals sent to the
client to the processes executing in the container. Currently SIGTERM and
SIGHUP are forwarded. Further signals that can be forwarded might be added
later.

## `gpu_devices`

Enables adding GPUs to a container.

## `container_image_properties`

Introduces a new `image` configuration key space. Read-only, includes the properties of the parent image.

## `migration_progress`

Transfer progress is now exported as part of the operation, on both sending and receiving ends.
This shows up as a `fs_progress` attribute in the operation metadata.

## `id_map`

Enables setting the {config:option}`instance-security:security.idmap.isolated`,
{config:option}`instance-security:security.idmap.size`, and {config:option}`instance-raw:raw.idmap` fields.

## `network_firewall_filtering`

Add two new keys, {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv4.firewall` and {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv6.firewall` which if set to
`false` will turn off the generation of `iptables` FORWARDING rules. NAT
rules will still be added so long as the matching {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv4.nat` or
{config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv6.nat` key is set to `true`.

Rules necessary for `dnsmasq` to work (DHCP/DNS) will always be applied if
`dnsmasq` is enabled on the bridge.

## `network_routes`

Introduces {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv4.routes` and {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv6.routes` which allow routing additional subnets to a LXD bridge.

## `storage`

Storage management API for LXD.

This includes:

* `GET /1.0/storage-pools`
* `POST /1.0/storage-pools` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)

* `GET /1.0/storage-pools/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `POST /1.0/storage-pools/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `PUT /1.0/storage-pools/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `PATCH /1.0/storage-pools/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `DELETE /1.0/storage-pools/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)

* `GET /1.0/storage-pools/<name>/volumes` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)

* `GET /1.0/storage-pools/<name>/volumes/<volume_type>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `POST /1.0/storage-pools/<name>/volumes/<volume_type>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)

* `GET /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<volume_type>/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `POST /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<volume_type>/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `PUT /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<volume_type>/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `PATCH /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<volume_type>/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)
* `DELETE /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<volume_type>/<name>` (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details)

* All storage configuration options (see [Storage configuration](storage.md) for details)

## `file_delete`

Implements `DELETE` in `/1.0/containers/<name>/files`

## `file_append`

Implements the `X-LXD-write` header which can be one of `overwrite` or `append`.

## `network_dhcp_expiry`

Introduces {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv4.dhcp.expiry` and {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv6.dhcp.expiry` allowing to set the DHCP lease expiry time.

## `storage_lvm_vg_rename`

Introduces the ability to rename a volume group by setting {config:option}`storage-lvm-pool-conf:lvm.vg_name`.

## `storage_lvm_thinpool_rename`

Introduces the ability to rename a thin pool name by setting {config:option}`storage-lvm-pool-conf:lvm.thinpool_name`.

## `network_vlan`

This adds a new {config:option}`device-nic-macvlan-device-conf:vlan` property to `macvlan` network devices.

When set, this will instruct LXD to attach to the specified VLAN. LXD
will look for an existing interface for that VLAN on the host. If one
can't be found it will create one itself and then use that as the
macvlan parent.

## `image_create_aliases`

Adds a new `aliases` field to `POST /1.0/images` allowing for aliases to
be set at image creation/import time.

## `container_stateless_copy`

This introduces a new `live` attribute in `POST /1.0/containers/<name>`.
Setting it to `false` tells LXD not to attempt running state transfer.

## `container_only_migration`

Introduces a new Boolean `container_only` attribute. When set to `true` only the
container will be copied or moved.

## `storage_zfs_clone_copy`

Introduces a new Boolean {config:option}`storage-zfs-pool-conf:zfs.clone_copy` property for ZFS storage
pools. When set to `false` copying a container will be done through `zfs send` and
receive. This will make the target container independent of its source
container thus avoiding the need to keep dependent snapshots in the ZFS pool
around. However, this also entails less efficient storage usage for the
affected pool.
The default value for this property is `true`, i.e. space-efficient snapshots
will be used unless explicitly set to `false`.

## `unix_device_rename`

Introduces the ability to rename the `unix-block`/`unix-char` device inside container by setting `path`,
and the `source` attribute is added to specify the device on host.
If `source` is set without a `path`, we should assume that `path` will be the same as `source`.
If `path` is set without `source` and `major`/`minor` isn't set,
we should assume that `source` will be the same as `path`.
So at least one of them must be set.

## `storage_rsync_bwlimit`

When `rsync` has to be invoked to transfer storage entities setting `rsync.bwlimit`
places an upper limit on the amount of socket I/O allowed.

## `network_vxlan_interface`

This introduces a new {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:tunnel.NAME.interface` option for networks.

This key control what host network interface is used for a VXLAN tunnel.

## `storage_btrfs_mount_options`

This introduces the {config:option}`storage-btrfs-pool-conf:btrfs.mount_options` property for Btrfs storage pools.

This key controls what mount options will be used for the Btrfs storage pool.

## `entity_description`

This adds descriptions to entities like containers, snapshots, networks, storage pools and volumes.

## `image_force_refresh`

This allows forcing a refresh for an existing image.

## `storage_lvm_lv_resizing`

This introduces the ability to resize logical volumes by setting the `size`
property in the containers root disk device.

## `id_map_base`

This introduces a new {config:option}`instance-security:security.idmap.base` allowing the user to skip the
map auto-selection process for isolated containers and specify what host
UID/GID to use as the base.

## `file_symlinks`

This adds support for transferring symlinks through the file API.
X-LXD-type can now be `symlink` with the request content being the target path.

## `container_push_target`

This adds the `target` field to `POST /1.0/containers/<name>` which can be
used to have the source LXD host connect to the target during migration.

## `network_vlan_physical`

Allows use of {config:option}`network-physical-network-conf:vlan` property with `physical` network devices.

When set, this will instruct LXD to attach to the specified VLAN on the `parent` interface.
LXD will look for an existing interface for that `parent` and VLAN on the host.
If one can't be found it will create one itself.
Then, LXD will directly attach this interface to the container.

## `storage_images_delete`

This enabled the storage API to delete storage volumes for images from
a specific storage pool.

## `container_edit_metadata`

This adds support for editing a container `metadata.yaml` and related templates
via API, by accessing URLs under `/1.0/containers/<name>/metadata`. It can be used
to edit a container before publishing an image from it.

## `container_snapshot_stateful_migration`

This enables migrating stateful container snapshots to new containers.

## `storage_driver_ceph`

This adds a Ceph storage driver.

## `storage_ceph_user_name`

This adds the ability to specify the Ceph user.

## `instance_types`

This adds the `instance_type` field to the container creation request.
Its value is expanded to LXD resource limits.

## `storage_volatile_initial_source`

This records the actual source passed to LXD during storage pool creation.

## `storage_ceph_force_osd_reuse`

This introduces the `ceph.osd.force_reuse` property for the Ceph storage
driver. When set to `true` LXD will reuse an OSD storage pool that is already in
use by another LXD instance.

## `storage_block_filesystem_btrfs`

This adds support for Btrfs as a storage volume file system, in addition to `ext4`
and `xfs`.

## `resources`

This adds support for querying a LXD daemon for the system resources it has
available.

## `kernel_limits`

This adds support for setting process limits such as maximum number of open
files for the container via `nofile`. The format is `limits.kernel.[limit name]`.

## `storage_api_volume_rename`

This adds support for renaming custom storage volumes.

## `network_sriov`

This adds support for SR-IOV enabled network devices.

## `console`

This adds support to interact with the container console device and console log.

## `restrict_devlxd`

A new {config:option}`instance-security:security.devlxd` container configuration key was introduced.
The key controls whether the `/dev/lxd` interface is made available to the instance.
If set to `false`, this effectively prevents the container from interacting with the LXD daemon.

## `migration_pre_copy`

This adds support for optimized memory transfer during live migration.

## `infiniband`

This adds support to use InfiniBand network devices.

## `maas_network`

This adds support for MAAS network integration.

When configured at the daemon level, it's then possible to attach a `nic`
device to a particular MAAS subnet.

## `devlxd_events`

This adds a WebSocket API to the `devlxd` socket.

When connecting to `/1.0/events` over the `devlxd` socket, you will now be
getting a stream of events over WebSocket.

## `proxy`

This adds a new `proxy` device type to containers, allowing forwarding
of connections between the host and container.

## `network_dhcp_gateway`

Introduces a new {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv4.dhcp.gateway` network configuration key to set an alternate gateway.

## `file_get_symlink`

This makes it possible to retrieve symlinks using the file API.

## `network_leases`

Adds a new `/1.0/networks/NAME/leases` API endpoint to query the lease database on
bridges which run a LXD-managed DHCP server.

## `unix_device_hotplug`

This adds support for the {config:option}`device-unix-hotplug-device-conf:required` property for Unix devices.

## `storage_api_local_volume_handling`

This add the ability to copy and move custom storage volumes locally in the
same and between storage pools.

## `operation_description`

## `event_lifecycle`

This adds a new `lifecycle` message type to the events API.

## `storage_api_remote_volume_handling`

This adds the ability to copy and move custom storage volumes between remote.

## `nvidia_runtime`

Adds a {config:option}`instance-nvidia:nvidia.runtime` configuration option for containers, setting this to
`true` will have the NVIDIA runtime and CUDA libraries passed to the
container.

## `container_mount_propagation`

This adds a new {config:option}`device-disk-device-conf:propagation` option to the disk device type, allowing
the configuration of kernel mount propagation.

## `container_backup`

Add container backup support.

This includes the following new endpoints (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details):

* `GET /1.0/containers/<name>/backups`

* `POST /1.0/containers/<name>/backups/<name>`
* `DELETE /1.0/containers/<name>/backups/<name>`

* `GET /1.0/containers/<name>/backups/<name>/export`

The following existing endpoint has been modified:

* `POST /1.0/containers` accepts the new source type `backup`

## `devlxd_images`

Adds a {config:option}`instance-security:security.devlxd.images` configuration option for containers which
controls the availability of a `/1.0/images/FINGERPRINT/export` API over
`devlxd`. This can be used by a container running nested LXD to access raw
images from the host.

## `container_local_cross_pool_handling`

This enables copying or moving containers between storage pools on the same LXD
instance.

## `proxy_unix`

Add support for both Unix sockets and abstract Unix sockets in proxy devices.
They can be used by specifying the address as `unix:/path/to/unix.sock` (normal
socket) or `unix:@/tmp/unix.sock` (abstract socket).

Supported connections are now:

* `TCP <-> TCP`
* `UNIX <-> UNIX`
* `TCP <-> UNIX`
* `UNIX <-> TCP`

## `proxy_udp`

Add support for UDP in proxy devices.

Supported connections are now:

* `TCP <-> TCP`
* `UNIX <-> UNIX`
* `TCP <-> UNIX`
* `UNIX <-> TCP`
* `UDP <-> UDP`
* `TCP <-> UDP`
* `UNIX <-> UDP`

## `clustering_join`

This makes `GET /1.0/cluster` return information about which storage pools and
networks are required to be created by joining nodes and which node-specific
configuration keys they are required to use when creating them. Likewise the `PUT
/1.0/cluster` endpoint now accepts the same format to pass information about
storage pools and networks to be automatically created before attempting to join
a cluster.

## `proxy_tcp_udp_multi_port_handling`

Adds support for forwarding traffic for multiple ports. Forwarding is allowed
between a range of ports if the port range is equal for source and target
(for example `1.2.3.4 0-1000 -> 5.6.7.8 1000-2000`) and between a range of source
ports and a single target port (for example `1.2.3.4 0-1000 -> 5.6.7.8 1000`).

## `network_state`

Adds support for retrieving a network's state.

This adds the following new endpoint (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details):

* `GET /1.0/networks/<name>/state`

## `proxy_unix_dac_properties`

This adds support for GID, UID, and mode properties for non-abstract Unix
sockets.

## `container_protection_delete`

Enables setting the {config:option}`instance-security:security.protection.delete` field which prevents containers
from being deleted if set to `true`. Snapshots are not affected by this setting.

## `proxy_priv_drop`

Adds {config:option}`device-proxy-device-conf:security.uid` and {config:option}`device-proxy-device-conf:security.gid` for the proxy devices, allowing
privilege dropping and effectively changing the UID/GID used for
connections to Unix sockets too.

## `pprof_http`

This adds a new {config:option}`server-core:core.debug_address` configuration option to start a debugging HTTP server.

That server currently includes a `pprof` API and replaces the old
`cpu-profile`, `memory-profile` and `print-goroutines` debug options.

## `proxy_haproxy_protocol`

Adds a {config:option}`device-proxy-device-conf:proxy_protocol` key to the proxy device which controls the use of the HAProxy PROXY protocol header.

## `network_hwaddr`

Adds a {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:bridge.hwaddr` key to control the MAC address of the bridge.

## `proxy_nat`

This adds optimized UDP/TCP proxying. If the configuration allows, proxying
will be done via `iptables` instead of proxy devices.

## `network_nat_order`

This introduces the {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv4.nat.order` and {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv6.nat.order` configuration keys for LXD bridges.
Those keys control whether to put the LXD rules before or after any pre-existing rules in the chain.

## `container_full`

This introduces a new `recursion=2` mode for `GET /1.0/containers` which allows for the retrieval of
all container structs, including the state, snapshots and backup structs.

This effectively allows for [`lxc list`](lxc_list.md) to get all it needs in one query.

## `backup_compression`

This introduces a new {config:option}`server-miscellaneous:backups.compression_algorithm` configuration key which
allows configuration of backup compression.

## `nvidia_runtime_config`

This introduces a few extra configuration keys when using {config:option}`instance-nvidia:nvidia.runtime` and the `libnvidia-container` library.
Those keys translate pretty much directly to the matching NVIDIA container environment variables:

* {config:option}`instance-nvidia:nvidia.driver.capabilities` => `NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES`
* {config:option}`instance-nvidia:nvidia.require.cuda` => `NVIDIA_REQUIRE_CUDA`
* {config:option}`instance-nvidia:nvidia.require.driver` => `NVIDIA_REQUIRE_DRIVER`

## `storage_api_volume_snapshots`

Add support for storage volume snapshots. They work like container snapshots,
only for volumes.

This adds the following new endpoint (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details):

* `GET /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<type>/<name>/snapshots`
* `POST /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<type>/<name>/snapshots`

* `GET /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<type>/<volume>/snapshots/<name>`
* `PUT /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<type>/<volume>/snapshots/<name>`
* `POST /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<type>/<volume>/snapshots/<name>`
* `DELETE /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/volumes/<type>/<volume>/snapshots/<name>`

## `storage_unmapped`

Introduces a new `security.unmapped` Boolean on storage volumes.

Setting it to `true` will flush the current map on the volume and prevent
any further idmap tracking and remapping on the volume.

This can be used to share data between isolated containers after
attaching it to the container which requires write access.

## `projects`

Add a new project API, supporting creation, update and deletion of projects.

Projects can hold containers, profiles or images at this point and let
you get a separate view of your LXD resources by switching to it.

## `network_vxlan_ttl`

This adds a new {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:tunnel.NAME.ttl` network configuration option which
makes it possible to raise the TTL on VXLAN tunnels.

## `container_incremental_copy`

This adds support for incremental container copy. When copying a container
using the `--refresh` flag, only the missing or outdated files will be
copied over. Should the target container not exist yet, a normal copy operation
is performed.

## `usb_optional_vendorid`

As the name implies, the {config:option}`device-unix-usb-device-conf:vendorid` field on USB devices attached to
containers has now been made optional, allowing for all USB devices to
be passed to a container (similar to what's done for GPUs).

## `snapshot_scheduling`

This adds support for snapshot scheduling. It introduces three new
configuration keys: `snapshots.schedule`, `snapshots.schedule.stopped`, and
`snapshots.pattern`. Snapshots can be created automatically up to every minute.

## `snapshots_schedule_aliases`

Snapshot schedule can be configured by a comma-separated list of schedule aliases.
Available aliases are `<@hourly> <@daily> <@midnight> <@weekly> <@monthly> <@annually> <@yearly> <@startup>` for instances,
and `<@hourly> <@daily> <@midnight> <@weekly> <@monthly> <@annually> <@yearly>` for storage volumes.

## `container_copy_project`

Introduces a `project` field to the container source JSON object, allowing for
copy/move of containers between projects.

## `clustering_server_address`

This adds support for configuring a server network address which differs from
the REST API client network address. When bootstrapping a new cluster, clients
can set the new {config:option}`server-cluster:cluster.https_address` configuration key to specify the address of
the initial server. When joining a new server, clients can set the
{config:option}`server-core:core.https_address` configuration key of the joining server to the REST API
address the joining server should listen at, and set the `server_address`
key in the `PUT /1.0/cluster` API to the address the joining server should
use for clustering traffic (the value of `server_address` will be
automatically copied to the `cluster.https_address` configuration key of the
joining server).

## `clustering_image_replication`

Enable image replication across the nodes in the cluster.
A new {config:option}`server-cluster:cluster.images_minimal_replica` configuration key was introduced can be used
to specify to the minimal numbers of nodes for image replication.

## `container_protection_shift`

Enables setting the {config:option}`instance-security:security.protection.shift` option which prevents containers
from having their file system shifted.

## `snapshot_expiry`

This adds support for snapshot expiration. The task is run minutely. The configuration
option {config:option}`instance-snapshots:snapshots.expiry` takes an expression in the form of `1M 2H 3d 4w 5m
6y` (1 minute, 2 hours, 3 days, 4 weeks, 5 months, 6 years), however not all
parts have to be used.

Snapshots which are then created will be given an expiry date based on the
expression. This expiry date, defined by `expires_at`, can be manually edited
using the API or [`lxc config edit`](lxc_config_edit.md). Snapshots with a valid expiry date will be
removed when the task in run. Expiry can be disabled by setting `expires_at` to
an empty string or `0001-01-01T00:00:00Z` (zero time). This is the default if
`snapshots.expiry` is not set.

This adds the following new endpoint (see [RESTful API](rest-api.md) for details):

* `PUT /1.0/containers/<name>/snapshots/<name>`

## `snapshot_expiry_creation`

Adds `expires_at` to container creation, allowing for override of a
snapshot's expiry at creation time.

used to track the current mapping for the container.

This effectively gives us:

* {config:option}`instance-volatile:volatile.last_state.idmap` => On-disk idmap
* {config:option}`instance-volatile:volatile.idmap.current` => Current kernel map
* {config:option}`instance-volatile:volatile.idmap.next` => Next on-disk idmap

This is required to implement environments where the on-disk map isn't
changed but the kernel map is (e.g. `idmapped mounts`).

## `event_location`

Expose the location of the generation of API events.

## `storage_api_remote_volume_snapshots`

This allows migrating storage volumes including their snapshots.

## `network_nat_address`

This introduces the {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv4.nat.address` and {config:option}`network-bridge-network-conf:ipv6.nat.address` configuration keys for LXD bridges.
Those keys control the source address used for outbound traffic from the bridge.

## `container_nic_routes`

This introduces the {config:option}`device-nic-bridged-device-conf:ipv4.routes` and {config:option}`device-nic-bridged-device-conf:ipv6.routes` properties on `nic` type devices.
This allows adding static routes on host to container's NIC.

## `cluster_internal_copy`

This makes it possible to do a normal `POST /1.0/containers` to copy a
container between cluster nodes with LXD internally detecting whether a
migration is required.

## `seccomp_notify`

If the kernel supports `seccomp`-based syscall interception LXD can be notified
by a container that a registered syscall has been performed. LXD can then
decide to trigger various actions.

## `lxc_features`

This introduces the `lxc_features` section output from the [`lxc info`](lxc_info.md) command
via the `GET /1.0` route. It outputs the result of checks for key features being present in the
underlying LXC library.

## `container_nic_ipvlan`

This introduces the `ipvlan` `nic` device type.

## `network_vlan_sriov`

## `storage_cephfs`

Add support for CephFS as a storage pool driver. This can only be used
for custom volumes, images and containers should be on Ceph (RBD)
instead.

what system calls will be intercepted by LXD and processed with
elevated permissions.

## `container_disk_shift`

Adds the {config:option}`device-disk-device-conf:shift` property on `disk` devices which controls the use of the `idmapped mounts` overlay.

## `storage_shifted`

Introduces a new `security.shifted` Boolean on storage volumes.

Setting it to `true` will allow multiple isolated containers to attach the
same storage volume while keeping the file system writable from all of
them.

This makes use of `idmapped mounts` as an overlay file system.

## `resources_infiniband`

Export InfiniBand character device information (`issm`, `umad`, `uverb`) as part of the resources API.

## `daemon_storage`

This introduces two new configuration keys {config:option}`server-miscellaneous:storage.images_volume` and
{config:option}`server-miscellaneous:storage.backups_volume` to allow for a storage volume on an existing
pool be used for storing the daemon-wide images and backups artifacts.

Adds a `FirmwareVersion` field to network card entries.

## `backup_compression_algorithm`

This adds support for a `compression_algorithm` property when creating a backup (`POST /1.0/containers/<name>/backups`).

Setting this property overrides the server default value ({config:option}`server-miscellaneous:backups.compression_algorithm`).

## `ceph_data_pool_name`

This adds support for an optional argument ({config:option}`storage-ceph-pool-conf:ceph.osd.data_pool_name`) when creating
storage pools using Ceph RBD, when this argument is used the pool will store it's
actual data in the pool specified with `data_pool_name` while keeping the metadata
in the pool specified by `pool_name`.

## `container_syscall_intercept_mount`

Adds the {config:option}`instance-security:security.syscalls.intercept.mount`,
{config:option}`instance-security:security.syscalls.intercept.mount.allowed`, and
{config:option}`instance-security:security.syscalls.intercept.mount.shift` configuration keys to control whether
and how the `mount` system call will be intercepted by LXD and processed with
elevated permissions.

This allows it to inherit some of the network's settings and allows better validation of IP settings.

## `clustering_sizing`

Support specifying a custom values for database voters and standbys.
The new {config:option}`server-cluster:cluster.max_voters` and {config:option}`server-cluster:cluster.max_standby` configuration keys were introduced
to specify to the ideal number of database voter and standbys.

## `firewall_driver`

Adds the `Firewall` property to the `ServerEnvironment` struct indicating the firewall driver being used.

## `storage_lvm_vg_force_reuse`

Introduces the ability to create a storage pool from an existing non-empty volume group.
This option should be used with care, as LXD can then not guarantee that volume name conflicts won't occur
with non-LXD created volumes in the same volume group.
This could also potentially lead to LXD deleting a non-LXD volume should name conflicts occur.

## `container_syscall_intercept_hugetlbfs`

When mount syscall interception is enabled and `hugetlbfs` is specified as an
allowed file system type LXD will mount a separate `hugetlbfs` instance for the
container with the UID and GID mount options set to the container's root UID
and GID. This ensures that processes in the container can use huge pages.

## `limits_hugepages`

This allows to limit the number of huge pages a container can use through the
`hugetlb` cgroup. This means the `hugetlb` cgroup needs to be available. Note, that
limiting huge pages is recommended when intercepting the mount syscall for the
`hugetlbfs` file system to avoid allowing the container to exhaust the host's
huge pages resources.

## `container_nic_routed_gateway`

This introduces the {config:option}`device-nic-routed-device-conf:ipv4.gateway` and {config:option}`device-nic-routed-device-conf:ipv6.gateway` NIC configuration keys that can take a value of either `auto` or
`none`. The default value for the key if unspecified is `auto`. This will cause the current behavior of a default
gateway being added inside the container and the same gateway address being added to the host-side interface.
If the value is set to `none` then no default gateway nor will the address be added to the host-side interface.
This allows multiple routed NIC devices to be added to a container.

## `projects_restrictions`

This introduces support for the {config:option}`project-restricted:restricted` configuration key on project, which
can prevent the use of security-sensitive features in a project.

## `custom_volume_snapshot_expiry`

This allows custom volume snapshots to expiry.
Expiry dates can be set individually, or by setting the `snapshots.expiry` configuration key on the parent custom volume which then automatically applies to all created snapshots.

## `volume_snapshot_scheduling`

This adds support for custom volume snapshot scheduling. It introduces two new
configuration keys: `snapshots.schedule` and
`snapshots.pattern`. Snapshots can be created automatically up to every minute.

## `trust_ca_certificates`

This allows for checking client certificates trusted by the provided CA (`server.ca`).
It can be enabled by setting {config:option}`server-core:core.trust_ca_certificates` to `true`.
If enabled, it will perform the check, and bypass the trusted password if `true`.
An exception will be made if the connecting client certificate is in the provided CRL (`ca.crl`).
In this case, it will ask for the password.

## `snapshot_disk_usage`

This adds a new `size` field to the output of `/1.0/instances/<name>/snapshots/<snapshot>` which represents the disk usage of the snapshot.

## `clustering_edit_roles`

This adds a writable endpoint for cluster members, allowing the editing of their roles.

## `container_nic_routed_host_address`

This introduces the {config:option}`device-nic-routed-device-conf:ipv4.host_address` and {config:option}`device-nic-routed-device-conf:ipv6.host_address` NIC configuration keys that can be used to control the
host-side `veth` interface's IP addresses. This can be useful when using multiple routed NICs at the same time and
needing a predictable next-hop address to use.

This also alters the behavior of {config:option}`device-nic-routed-device-conf:ipv4.gateway` and {config:option}`device-nic-routed-device-conf:ipv6.gateway` NIC configuration keys. When they are set to `auto`
the container will have its default gateway set to the value of `ipv4.host_address` or `ipv6.host_address` respectively.

The default values are:

`ipv4.host_address`: `169.254.0.1`
`ipv6.host_address`: `fe80::1`

This is backward compatible with the previous default behavior.

## `container_nic_ipvlan_gateway`

This introduces the {config:option}`device-nic-ipvlan-device-conf:ipv4.gateway` and {config:option}`device-nic-ipvlan-device-conf:ipv6.gateway` NIC configuration keys that can take a value of either `auto` or
`none`. The default value for the key if unspecified is `auto`. This will cause the current behavior of a default
gateway being added inside the container and the same gateway address being added to the host-side interface.
If the value is set to `none` then no default gateway nor will the address be added to the host-side interface.
This allows multiple IPVLAN NIC devices to be added to a container.

## `resources_usb_pci`

This adds USB and PCI devices to the output of `/1.0/resources`.

## `resources_cpu_threads_numa`

This indicates that the `numa_node` field is now recorded per-thread
rather than per core as some hardware apparently puts threads in
different NUMA domains.

## `resources_cpu_core_die`

Exposes the `die_id` information on each core.

## `api_os`

This introduces two new fields in `/1.0`, `os` and `os_version`.

Those are taken from the OS-release data on the system.

## `container_nic_routed_host_table`

## `container_nic_ipvlan_host_table`

This introduces the {config:option}`device-nic-ipvlan-device-conf:ipv4.host_table` and {config:option}`device-nic-ipvlan-device-conf:ipv6.host_table` NIC configuration keys that can be used to add static routes
for the instance's IPs to a custom policy routing table by ID.

## `container_nic_ipvlan_mode`

This introduces the {config:option}`device-nic-ipvlan-device-conf:mode` NIC configuration key that can be used to switch the `ipvlan` mode into either `l2` or `l3s`.
If not specified, the default value is `l3s` (which is the old behavior).

In `l2` mode the {config:option}`device-nic-ipvlan-device-conf:ipv4.address` and {config:option}`device-nic-ipvlan-device-conf:ipv6.address` keys will accept addresses in either CIDR or singular formats.
If singular format is used, the default subnet size is taken to be /24 and /64 for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.

In `l2` mode the {config:option}`device-nic-ipvlan-device-conf:ipv4.gateway` and {config:option}`device-nic-ipvlan-device-conf:ipv6.gateway` keys accept only a singular IP address.

## `resources_system`

This adds system information to the output of `/1.0/resources`.

* MII frequency
* MII state
* Lower devices

Bridge:

* ID
* Forward delay
* STP mode

## `resources_gpu_mdev`

Expose available mediated device profiles and devices in `/1.0/resources`.

## `console_vga_type`

This extends the `/1.0/console` endpoint to take a `?type=` argument, which can
be set to `console` (default) or `vga` (the new type added by this extension).

When doing a `POST` to `/1.0/<instance name>/console?type=vga` the data WebSocket
returned by the operation in the metadata field will be a bidirectional proxy
attached to a SPICE Unix socket of the target virtual machine.

The interface specified by {config:option}`network-physical-network-conf:parent` on the `physical` network will be connected to the `ovn` network's gateway.

## `network_ovn_external_subnets`

Adds support for `ovn` networks to use external subnets from uplink networks.

Introduces the {config:option}`network-physical-network-conf:ipv4.routes` and {config:option}`network-physical-network-conf:ipv6.routes` setting on `physical` networks that defines the external routes
allowed to be used in child OVN networks in their {config:option}`device-nic-ovn-device-conf:ipv4.routes.external` and {config:option}`device-nic-ovn-device-conf:ipv6.routes.external` settings.

the subnet, then the appropriate NAT setting will added set to `true`.

If the setting is missing then the value is taken as `false`.

## `network_ovn_external_routes_remove`

Removes the settings `ipv4.routes.external` and `ipv6.routes.external` from `ovn` networks.

If not specified, all networks are accessible (assuming it is also allowed by the {config:option}`project-restricted:restricted.devices.nic` setting, described below).

This also introduces a change whereby network access is controlled by the project's {config:option}`project-restricted:restricted.devices.nic` setting:

* If `restricted.devices.nic` is set to `managed` (the default if not specified), only managed networks are accessible.
* If `restricted.devices.nic` is set to `allow`, all networks are accessible (dependent on the `restricted.networks.access` setting).

Hotplugging is disabled when using CPU pinning, because this would require hotplugging NUMA devices as well, which is not possible.

## `projects_networks_zones`

This adds support for the {config:option}`project-features:features.networks.zones` project feature, which changes which project network zones are
associated with when they are created. Previously network zones were tied to the value of {config:option}`project-features:features.networks`,
meaning they were created in the same project as networks were.

Now this has been decoupled from {config:option}`project-features:features.networks` to allow projects that share a network in the default project
(i.e those with `features.networks=false`) to have their own project level DNS zones that give a project oriented
"view" of the addresses on that shared network (which only includes addresses from instances in their project).

This also introduces a change to the network `dns.zone.forward` setting, which now accepts a comma-separated of
DNS zone names (a maximum of one per project) in order to associate a shared network with multiple zones.

No change to the `dns.zone.reverse.*` settings have been made, they still only allow a single DNS zone to be set.
However the resulting zone content that is generated now includes `PTR` records covering addresses from all
projects that are referencing that network via one of their forward zones.

Existing projects that have `features.networks=true` will have `features.networks.zones=true` set automatically,
but new projects will need to specify this explicitly.

* `volume.zfs.block_mode`
* `volume.block.mount_options`
* `volume.block.filesystem`

## `instance_generation_id`

Adds support for instance generation ID. The VM or container generation ID will change whenever the instance's place in time moves backwards. As of now, the generation ID is only exposed through to VM type instances. This allows for the VM guest OS to reinitialize any state it needs to avoid duplicating potential state that has already occurred:

* {config:option}`instance-volatile:volatile.uuid.generation`

## `disk_io_cache`

This introduces a new {config:option}`device-disk-device-conf:io.cache` property to disk devices which can be used to override the VM caching behavior.

non-shared storage pools.

This also adds the `CRIUType_VM_QEMU` value of `3` for the migration `CRIUType` `protobuf` field.

## `ovn_nic_nesting`

This adds support for nesting an `ovn` NIC inside another `ovn` NIC on the same instance.
This allows for an OVN logical switch port to be tunneled inside another OVN NIC using VLAN tagging.

This feature is configured by specifying the parent NIC name using the {config:option}`device-nic-ovn-device-conf:nested` property and the VLAN ID to use for tunneling with the {config:option}`device-nic-ovn-device-conf:vlan` property.

## `oidc`

This adds support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication.

This adds the following new configuration keys:

* {config:option}`server-oidc:oidc.issuer`
* {config:option}`server-oidc:oidc.client.id`
* {config:option}`server-oidc:oidc.audience`

## `network_ovn_l3only`

This adds the ability to set an `ovn` network into "layer 3 only" mode.
This mode can be enabled at IPv4 or IPv6 level using {config:option}`network-ovn-network-conf:ipv4.l3only` and {config:option}`network-ovn-network-conf:ipv6.l3only` configuration options respectively.

With this mode enabled the following changes are made to the network:

* The virtual router's internal port address will be configured with a single host netmask (e.g. /32 for IPv4 or /128 for IPv6).
* Static routes for active instance NIC addresses will be added to the virtual router.
* A discard route for the entire internal subnet will be added to the virtual router to prevent packets destined for inactive addresses from escaping to the uplink network.
* The DHCPv4 server will be configured to indicate that a netmask of 255.255.255.255 be used for instance configuration.

## `ovn_nic_acceleration_vdpa`

This updates the `ovn_nic_acceleration` API extension. The {config:option}`device-nic-ovn-device-conf:acceleration` configuration key for OVN NICs can now takes the value `vdpa` to support Virtual Data Path Acceleration (VDPA).

## `cluster_healing`

This adds cluster healing which automatically evacuates offline cluster members.

This adds the following new configuration key:

* {config:option}`server-cluster:cluster.healing_threshold`

The configuration key takes an integer, and can be disabled by setting it to 0 (default). If set, the value represents the threshold after which an offline cluster member is to be evacuated. In case the value is lower than {config:option}`server-cluster:cluster.offline_threshold`, that value will be used instead.

When the offline cluster member is evacuated, only remote-backed instances will be migrated. Local instances will be ignored as there is no way of migrating them once the cluster member is offline.

## `numa_cpu_placement`

This adds the possibility to place a set of CPUs in a desired set of NUMA nodes.

This adds the following new configuration key:

* {config:option}`instance-resource-limits:limits.cpu.nodes` : (string) comma-separated list of NUMA node IDs or NUMA node ID ranges to place the CPUs (chosen with a dynamic value of {config:option}`instance-resource-limits:limits.cpu`) in.

## `custom_volume_iso`

This adds the possibility to import ISO images as custom storage volumes.

This adds the `--type` flag to [`lxc storage volume import`](lxc_storage_volume_import.md).

## `network_allocations`

This adds the possibility to list a LXD deployment's network allocations.

Through the [`lxc network list-allocations`](lxc_network_list-allocations.md) command and the `--project <PROJECT> | --all-projects` flags,
you can list all the used IP addresses, hardware addresses (for instances), resource URIs and whether it uses NAT for
each `instance`, `network`, `network forward` and `network load-balancer`.

## `storage_api_remote_volume_snapshot_copy`

This allows copying storage volume snapshots to and from remotes.

## `zfs_delegate`

This implements a new {config:option}`storage-zfs-volume-conf:zfs.delegate` volume Boolean for volumes on a ZFS storage driver.
When enabled and a suitable system is in use (requires ZFS 2.2 or higher), the ZFS dataset will be delegated to the container, allowing for its use through the `zfs` command line tool.

## `operations_get_query_all_projects`

This introduces support for the `all-projects` query parameter for the GET API calls to both `/1.0/operations` and `/1.0/operations?recursion=1`.
This parameter allows bypassing the project name filter.

## `metadata_configuration`

Adds the `GET /1.0/metadata/configuration` API endpoint to retrieve the generated metadata configuration in a JSON format. The JSON structure adopts the structure ```"configs" > `ENTITY` > `ENTITY_SECTION` > "keys" > [<CONFIG_OPTION_0>, <CONFIG_OPTION_1>, ...]```.
Check the list of {doc}`configuration options </config-options>` to see which configuration options are included.

## `syslog_socket`

This introduces a syslog socket that can receive syslog formatted log messages. These can be viewed in the events API and `lxc monitor`, and can be forwarded to Loki. To enable this feature, set {config:option}`server-core:core.syslog_socket` to `true`.

## `event_lifecycle_name_and_project`

This adds the fields `Name` and `Project` to `lifecycle` events.

## `instances_nic_limits_priority`

This introduces a new per-NIC `limits.priority` option that works with both cgroup1 and cgroup2 unlike the deprecated `limits.network.priority` instance setting, which only worked with cgroup1.

## `disk_initial_volume_configuration`

This API extension provides the capability to set initial volume configurations for instance root devices.
Initial volume configurations are prefixed with `initial.` and can be specified either through profiles or directly
during instance initialization using the `--device` flag.

Note that these configuration are applied only at the time of instance creation and subsequent modifications have
no effect on existing devices.

## `operation_wait`

This API extension indicates that the `/1.0/operations/{id}/wait` endpoint exists on the server. This indicates to the client
that the endpoint can be used to wait for an operation to complete rather than waiting for an operation event via the
`/1.0/events` endpoint.

## `cluster_internal_custom_volume_copy`

This extension adds support for copying and moving custom storage volumes within a cluster with a single API call.
Calling `POST /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/custom?target=<target>` will copy the custom volume specified in the `source` part of the request.
Calling `POST /1.0/storage-pools/<pool>/custom/<volume>?target=<target>` will move the custom volume from the source, specified in the `source` part of the request, to the target.

## `disk_io_bus`

This introduces a new {config:option}`device-disk-device-conf:io.bus` property to disk devices which can be used to override the bus the disk is attached to.

## `storage_cephfs_create_missing`

This introduces the configuration keys {config:option}`storage-cephfs-pool-conf:cephfs.create_missing`, {config:option}`storage-cephfs-pool-conf:cephfs.osd_pg_num`, {config:option}`storage-cephfs-pool-conf:cephfs.meta_pool` and {config:option}`storage-cephfs-pool-conf:cephfs.data_pool` to be used when adding a `cephfs` storage pool to instruct LXD to create the necessary entities for the storage pool, if they do not exist.

## `instance_move_config`

This API extension provides the ability to use flags `--profile`, `--no-profile`, `--device`, and `--config`
when moving an instance between projects and/or storage pools.

## `ovn_ssl_config`

This introduces new server configuration keys to provide the SSL CA and client key pair to access the OVN databases.
The new configuration keys are {config:option}`server-miscellaneous:network.ovn.ca_cert`, {config:option}`server-miscellaneous:network.ovn.client_cert` and {config:option}`server-miscellaneous:network.ovn.client_key`.

## `init_preseed_storage_volumes`

This API extension provides the ability to configure storage volumes in preseed init.

## `metrics_instances_count`

This extends the metrics to include the containers and virtual machines counts. Instances are counted irrespective of their state.

## `server_instance_type_info`

This API extension enables querying a server's supported instance types.
When querying the `/1.0` endpoint, a new field named `instance_types` is added to the retrieved data.
This field indicates which instance types are supported by the server.

## `resources_disk_mounted`

Adds a `mounted` field to disk resources that LXD discovers on the system, reporting whether that disk or partition is
mounted.

## `server_version_lts`

The API extension adds indication whether the LXD version is an LTS release.
This is indicated when command `lxc version` is executed or when `/1.0` endpoint is queried.

## `oidc_groups_claim`

This API extension enables setting an {config:option}`server-oidc:oidc.groups.claim` configuration key.
If OIDC authentication is configured and this claim is set, LXD will request this claim in the scope of OIDC flow.
The value of the claim will be extracted and might be used to make authorization decisions.

## `loki_config_instance`

Adds a new {config:option}`server-loki:loki.instance` server configuration key to customize the `instance` field in Loki events.
This can be used to expose the name of the cluster rather than the individual system name sending
the event as that's usually already covered by the `location` field.

## `storage_volatile_uuid`

Adds a new `volatile.uuid` configuration key to all storage volumes, snapshots and buckets.
This information can be used by storage drivers as a separate identifier besides the name
when working with volumes.

## `import_instance_devices`

This API extension provides the ability to use flags `--device` when importing an instance to override instance's devices.

## `instances_uefi_vars`

This API extension indicates that the `/1.0/instances/{name}/uefi-vars` endpoint is supported on the server. This endpoint allows to get the full list of UEFI variables (HTTP method GET) or replace the entire set of UEFI variables (HTTP method PUT).

## `instances_migration_stateful`

This API extension allows newly created VMs to have their {config:option}`instance-migration:migration.stateful` configuration key automatically set
through the new server-level configuration key {config:option}`server-miscellaneous:instances.migration.stateful`. If `migration.stateful` is already set at the profile or instance level then `instances.migration.stateful` is not applied.

## `access_management`

Adds new APIs under `/1.0/auth` for viewing and managing identities, groups, and permissions.
Adds an embedded OpenFGA authorization driver for enforcing fine-grained permissions.

```{important}
Prior to the addition of this extension, all OIDC clients were given full access to LXD (equivalent to Unix socket access).
This extension revokes access to all OIDC clients.
To regain access, a user must:
1. Make a call to the OIDC enabled LXD remote (e.g. `lxc info`) to ensure that their OIDC identity is added to the LXD database.
2. Create a group: `lxc auth group create <group_name>`
3. Grant the group a suitable permission.
   As all OIDC clients prior to this extension have had full access to LXD, the corresponding permission is `admin` on `server`.
   To grant this permission to your group, run: `lxc auth group permission add <group_name> server admin`
4. Add themselves to the group. To do this, run: `lxc auth identity group add oidc/<email_address> <group_name>`

Steps 2 to 4 above cannot be performed via OIDC authentication (access has been revoked).
They must be performed by a sufficiently privileged user, either via Unix socket or unrestricted TLS client certificate.

For more information on access control for OIDC clients, see {ref}`fine-grained-authorization`.
```

## `vm_disk_io_limits`

Adds the ability to limit disk I/O for virtual machines.

## `storage_volumes_all`

This API extension adds support for listing storage volumes from all storage pools via `/1.0/storage-volumes` or `/1.0/storage-volumes/{type}` to filter by volume type. Also adds a `pool` field to storage volumes.

## `instances_files_modify_permissions`

Adds the ability for `POST /1.0/instances/{name}/files` to modify the permissions of files that already exist via the `X-LXD-modify-perm` header.

`X-LXD-modify-perm` should be a comma-separated list of 0 or more of `mode`, `uid`, and `gid`.

## `image_restriction_nesting`

This extension adds a new image restriction, `requirements.nesting` which when `true` indicates that an image cannot be run without nesting.

## `container_syscall_intercept_finit_module`

Adds the {config:option}`instance-miscellaneous:linux.kernel_modules.load` container configuration option. If the option is set to `ondemand`, the `finit_modules()` syscall is intercepted and a privileged user in the container's user namespace can load the Linux kernel modules specified in the
allow list {config:option}`instance-miscellaneous:linux.kernel_modules`.

## `device_usb_serial`

This adds new configuration keys {config:option}`device-unix-usb-device-conf:serial`, {config:option}`device-unix-usb-device-conf:busnum` and {config:option}`device-unix-usb-device-conf:devnum` for [device type `usb`](devices-usb).
The feature has been added to make it possible to distinguish between devices with identical {config:option}`device-unix-usb-device-conf:vendorid` and {config:option}`device-unix-usb-device-conf:productid`.

## `network_allocate_external_ips`

Adds the ability to use an unspecified IPv4 (`0.0.0.0`) or IPv6 (`::`) address in the `listen_address` field of the request body for `POST /1.0/networks/{networkName}/load-balancers` and `POST /1.0/networks/{networkName}/forwards`.
If an unspecified IP address is used, supported drivers will allocate an available listen address automatically.
Allocation of external IP addresses is currently supported by the OVN network driver.
The OVN driver will allocate IP addresses from the subnets specified in the uplink network's `ipv4.routes` and `ipv6.routes` configuration options.

## `explicit_trust_token`

Adds the ability to explicitly specify a trust token when creating a certificate
and joining an existing cluster.

## `shared_custom_block_volumes`

This adds a configuration key `security.shared` to custom block volumes.
If unset or `false`, the custom block volume cannot be attached to multiple instances.
This feature was added to prevent data loss which can happen when custom block volumes are attached to multiple instances at once.

## `instance_import_conversion`

Adds the ability to convert images from different formats (e.g. VMDK or QCow2) into RAW image format and import them as LXD instances.

## `instance_create_start`

Adds a `start` field to the `POST /1.0/instances` API which when set
to `true` will have the instance automatically start upon creation.

In this scenario, the creation and startup is part of a single background operation.

## `instance_protection_start`

Enables setting the {config:option}`instance-security:security.protection.start` field which prevents instances
from being started if set to `true`.

## `devlxd_images_vm`

Enables the {config:option}`instance-security:security.devlxd.images` configuration option for virtual machines.
This controls the availability of a `/1.0/images/FINGERPRINT/export` API over `devlxd`.
This can be used by a virtual machine running LXD to access raw images from the host.

## `disk_io_bus_virtio_blk`

Adds a new `virtio-blk` value for `io.bus` on `disk` devices which allows
for the attached disk to be connected to the `virtio-blk` bus.

## `metrics_api_requests`

Adds the following internal metrics:

* Total completed requests
* Number of ongoing requests

## `projects_limits_disk_pool`

This introduces per-pool project disk limits, introducing a `limits.disk.pool.NAME`
configuration option to the project limits. When `limits.disk.pool.POOLNAME: 0`
for a project, the pool is excluded from `lxc storage list` in that project.

## `ubuntu_pro_guest_attach`

Adds a new {config:option}`instance-miscellaneous:ubuntu_pro.guest_attach` configuration option for instances.
When set to `on`, if the host has guest attachment enabled, the guest can request a guest token for Ubuntu Pro via `devlxd`.

For more information, see: {ref}`instances-ubuntu-pro-attach`.

## `metadata_configuration_entity_types`

This adds entity type metadata to `GET /1.0/metadata/configuration`.
The entity type metadata is a JSON object under the `entities` key.

## `access_management_tls`

Expands APIs under `/1.0/auth` to include:

1. Creation of fine-grained TLS identities, whose permissions are managed via group membership.
  This is performed via `POST /1.0/auth/identities/tls`.
  If the request body contains `{"token": true}`, a token will be returned that may be used by a non-authenticated caller to gain trust with the LXD server (the caller must send their certificate during the TLS handshake).
  If the request body contains `{"certificate": "<base64 encoded x509 certificate>"}"`, the identity will be created directly.
  The request body may also specify an array of group names.
  The caller must have `can_create_identities` on `server`.
1. Deletion of OIDC and fine-grained TLS identities.
  This is performed via `DELETE /1.0/auth/identities/tls/{nameOrFingerprint}` or `DELETE /1.0/auth/identities/oidc/{nameOrEmailAddress}`.
  The caller must have `can_delete` on the identity. All identities may delete their own identity.
  For OIDC identities this revokes all access but does not revoke trust (authentication is performed by the identity provider).
  For fine-grained TLS identities, this revokes all access and revokes trust.
1. Functionality to update the certificate of a fine-grained TLS identity.
  This is performed via `PUT /1.0/auth/identities/tls/{nameOrFingerprint}` or `PATCH /1.0/auth/identities/tls/{nameOrFingerprint}`.
  The caller must provide a base64 encoded x509 certificate in the `certificate` field of the request body.
  Fine-grained TLS identities may update their own certificate.
  To update the certificate of another identity, the caller must have `can_edit` on the identity.

## `network_allocations_ovn_uplink`

Includes OVN virtual routers external IPs to `/1.0/network-allocations` responses with the type `uplink`.
Introduces the `network` field on each allocation, indicating to which network each allocated address belongs.
And lastly, adds a `project` field on leases, leases can be retrieved via `/1.0/networks/<network>/leases`.

## `network_ovn_uplink_vlan`

Adds support for using a bridge network with a specified VLAN ID as an OVN uplink.

## `state_logical_cpus`

Adds `logical_cpus` field to `GET /1.0/cluster/members/{name}/state` which
contains the total available logical CPUs available when LXD started.

## `vm_limits_cpu_pin_strategy`

Adds a new {config:option}`instance-resource-limits:limits.cpu.pin_strategy` configuration option for virtual machines. This option controls the CPU pinning strategy. When set to `none`, CPU auto pinning is disabled. When set to `auto`, CPU auto pinning is enabled.

## `gpu_cdi`

Adds support for using the Container Device Interface (CDI) specification to configure GPU passthrough in LXD containers. The `id` field of GPU devices now accepts CDI identifiers (for example, `{VENDOR_DOMAIN_NAME}/gpu=gpu{INDEX}`) for containers, in addition to DRM card IDs. This enables GPU passthrough for devices that don't use PCI addressing (like NVIDIA Tegra iGPUs) and provides a more flexible way to identify and configure GPU devices.

## `images_all_projects`

This adds support for listing images across all projects using the `all-projects` parameter in `GET /1.0/images` requests.

## `metadata_configuration_scope`

This adds scope metadata to `GET /1.0/metadata/configuration`. Options marked with a `global` scope are applied to all cluster members. Options with a `local` scope must be set on a per-member basis.

## `unix_device_hotplug_ownership_inherit`

Adds a new {config:option}`device-unix-hotplug-device-conf:ownership.inherit` configuration option for `unix-hotplug` devices. This option controls whether the device inherits ownership (GID and/or UID) from the host. When set to `true` and GID and/or UID are unset, host ownership is inherited. When set to `false`, host ownership is not inherited and ownership can be configured by setting {config:option}`device-unix-hotplug-device-conf:gid` and {config:option}`device-unix-hotplug-device-conf:uid`.

## `unix_device_hotplug_subsystem_device_option`

Adds a new {config:option}`device-unix-hotplug-device-conf:subsystem` configuration option for `unix-hotplug` devices. This adds support for detecting `unix-hotplug` devices by subsystem, and can be used in conjunction with {config:option}`device-unix-hotplug-device-conf:productid` and {config:option}`device-unix-hotplug-device-conf:vendorid`.

## `storage_ceph_osd_pool_size`

This introduces the configuration keys {config:option}`storage-ceph-pool-conf:ceph.osd.pool_size`, and {config:option}`storage-cephfs-pool-conf:cephfs.osd_pool_size` to be used when adding or updating a `ceph` or `cephfs` storage pool to instruct LXD to create set the replication size for the underlying OSD pools.

## `network_get_target`

These keys define the maximum value of IPs made available on a network named NETWORK_NAME to be assigned as uplink IPs for entities inside a certain project. These entities can be other networks, network forwards or load balancers.

## `entities_with_entitlements`

Adds `fine_grained` field to `GET /1.0/auth/identities/current` to indicate if the current identity
interacting with the LXD API is fine-grained (that is, associated permissions are managed via group membership).
Allows LXD entities to be returned with an `access_entitlements` field if the current identity is fine-grained and the
GET request to fetch the LXD entities has the `with-access-entitlements=<comma_separated_list_of_candidate_entitlements>` query parameter.

## `profiles_all_projects`

This adds support for listing profiles across all projects using the `all-projects` parameter in `GET /1.0/profiles` requests.

1. {config:option}`storage-pure-pool-conf:pure.gateway.verify`
1. {config:option}`storage-pure-pool-conf:pure.api.token`
1. {config:option}`storage-pure-pool-conf:pure.mode`
1. {config:option}`storage-pure-pool-conf:pure.target`

## `cloud_init_ssh_keys`

Adds support for injecting additional SSH public keys into instances through {ref}`cloud-init <instance-options-cloud-init>` without conflicting with any configuration present on {config:option}`instance-cloud-init:cloud-init.vendor-data` or {config:option}`instance-cloud-init:cloud-init.user-data`.

To achieve this, the `cloud-init.ssh-keys.KEYNAME` configuration key is added for both instances and profiles. This key is used to define a public key to be injected. `KEYNAME` can be any arbitrary name for the injected key.

The value for `cloud-init.ssh-keys.KEYNAME` should be `<user>:<key>`, where `<user>` is the name of the user for whom to inject the key. For `<key>`, provide either the public key or a `cloud-init` import ID for a key hosted elsewhere. Example valid values for `cloud-init.ssh-keys.KEYNAME` are `root:gh:githubUser` or `myUser:ssh-keyAlg base64PublicKey`.

## `oidc_scopes`

This API extension enables setting an {config:option}`server-oidc:oidc.scopes` configuration key, which accepts a space-separated list of OIDC scopes to request from the identity provider.
This configuration option can be used to request additional scopes that might be required for retrieving {ref}`identity provider groups <identity-provider-groups>` from the identity provider.
Additionally, the optional scopes `profile` and `offline_access` can be unset via this setting.
Note that the `openid` and `email` scopes are always required.

## `project_default_network_and_storage`

Adds flags --network and --storage. The --network flag adds a network device connected to the specified network to the default profile. The --storage flag adds a root disk device using the specified storage pool to the default profile.

## `client_cert_presence`

Adds the field `client_certificate` to `GET /1.0` to indicate if the current request has a client certificate in it. This is for informational purposes only and does not affect the behavior of the API.

## `clustering_groups_used_by`

This API extension adds a `used_by` field to the API response for a {ref}`cluster group <cluster-groups>`.
Deletion of a cluster group is disallowed if the cluster group is referenced by project configuration (see {config:option}`project-restricted:restricted.cluster.groups`).

## `container_bpf_delegation`

Adds new {config:option}`instance-security:security.delegate_bpf`.* group of options in order to support eBPF delegation using BPF Token mechanism. See {ref}`bpf-delegation-token` for more information.

## `resources_device_fs_uuid`

Adds the field `device_fs_uuid` including the respective UUID to each disk and partition indicating whether or not a filesystem is located on the device.

(extension-backup-metadataversion)=
## `backup_metadata_version`

Adds the field `version` when exporting instances and custom storage volumes to define the backup file format.
In case the field is omitted, the server's default version is used.
This maintains backwards compatibility with older clients.

When exporting an instance, the specific version can be provided using the `--export-version` flag:

`lxc export v1 --export-version 2`

The same applies when exporting a custom storage volume:

`lxc storage volume export pool1 vol1 --export-version 2`

## `storage_buckets_all_projects`

## `clustering_restore_skip_mode`

Adds a `skip` mode to the restore request. This mode restores a cluster member's status to `ONLINE` without restarting any of its stopped local instances or migrating back instances that were evacuated to other cluster members.

## `disk_io_threads_virtiofsd`

Adds the {config:option}`device-disk-device-conf:io.threads` option on `disk` devices which is used to control the `virtiofsd` thread pool size when sharing file systems into VMs. This can help improve I/O performance.

## `oidc_client_secret`

This adds support for the {config:option}`server-oidc:oidc.client.secret` configuration key.
If set, the LXD server will use this value in the OpenID Connect (OIDC) authorization code flow, which is used by LXD UI.
This configuration value is not shared with other LXD clients (such as the LXD CLI).

## `pci_hotplug`

This adds PCI device hotplugging for VMs.

## `device_patch_removal`

The `PATCH /1.0/instances/{name}` endpoint allows removing an instance device by setting its value to `null` in the devices map.

(extension-daemon-storage-per-project)=
## `daemon_storage_per_project`

This introduces two new configuration keys {config:option}`server-miscellaneous:storage.project.{name}.images_volume` and
{config:option}`server-miscellaneous:storage.project.{name}.backups_volume` per each project to allow for a storage volume on an existing
pool be used for storing the project-specific images and backups artifacts.

(extension-ovn-internal-load-balancer)=
## `ovn_internal_load_balancer`

This introduces support for internal OVN load balancers and network forwards. This approach allows `ovn` networks to define ports on internal IP addresses that can be forwarded to other internal IPs inside their respective networks.
This change removes the previous limitation on `ovn` networks that load balancers and network forwards could only use external IP addresses to forward to internal IPs.

(extension-auth-bearer-devlxd)=
## `auth_bearer_devlxd`

Adds a new `bearer` authentication method and enables authentication to the DevLXD API.
See {ref}`DevLXD bearer tokens <devlxd-authentication-bearer>`.

(extension-devlxd-volume-management)=
## `devlxd_volume_management`

Enables additional DevLXD endpoints for managing custom storage volumes and instance devices when `security.devlxd.management.volumes` is set to true.
These endpoints are primarily intended for use by the LXD CSI driver.

Management is limited to custom storage volumes.
Additionally, the client is required to authenticate using DevLXD identity, which is used to track storage volume and instance device owner.
Volumes and instance devices created through the DevLXD are marked as owned by the authenticated identity and can later be modified or removed through DevLXD only by the same identity.

New DevLXD endpoints:

* `GET /1.0/storage-pools/{pool}` — Retrieve a storage pool.
* `GET /1.0/storage-pools/{pool}/volumes` — List owned custom volumes in a pool.
* `GET /1.0/storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{volume}` — Retrieve an owned custom volume.
* `POST /1.0/storage-pools/{pool}/volumes` — Create a new owned custom volume in a pool.
* `PUT /1.0/storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{volume}` — Update an owned custom volume.
* `DELETE /1.0/storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{volume}` — Delete an owned custom volume.
* `GET /1.0/instances/{inst}` — Retrieve an instance and its owned devices.
* `PATCH /1.0/instances/{inst}` — Add new instance devices or modify owned devices.

Changes to existing DevLXD endpoints:

* `GET /1.0` — Adds a `supported_storage_drivers` field to the response, which is populated when `security.devlxd.management.volumes` is enabled.

(extension-import-custom-volume-tar)=
## `import_custom_volume_tar`

This adds new option `tar` for parameter `--type` in `POST /1.0/storage-pools/{poolName}/volumes/{type}` API call.

(extension-projects-force-delete)=
## `projects_force_delete`

Adds support for force deleting projects and their entities (instances, profiles, images, networks, network ACLs, network zones, storage volumes, and storage buckets) by setting the `force` query parameter on `DELETE /1.0/projects/{name}` requests.

(extension-auth-oidc-sessions)=
## `auth_oidc_sessions`

Adds session support for OIDC authentication. This enables compatibility with identity providers that issue opaque access tokens.

When a session expires, LXD will re-verify the login with the identity provider.
The duration of OIDC sessions defaults to one week and can be configured via the {config:option}`server-oidc:oidc.session.expiry` configuration key.

Verification of an OIDC session depends on a new, cluster-wide core secret.
The OIDC session expiry can never be greater than the expiry of the core secret.
The {config:option}`server-core:core.auth_secret_expiry` configuration option can set to define how long a given secret can be used for before it expires.

(extension-instance-snapshots-multi-volume)=
## `instance_snapshots_multi_volume`

Enables the creation of a multi-volume snapshot and the restoration of an instance together with its attached volumes, while ensuring crash consistency across volumes.

Adds `DiskVolumesMode` to `POST /1.0/instances/{name}/snapshots` and `RestoreDiskVolumesMode` to `PUT /1.0/instances/{name}` to select which attached volumes are included in snapshots/restores: "root" includes only the instance's root disk; "all-exclusive" includes the root disk and any exclusively attached (non-shared) volumes. Defaults to "root".

This extension also introduces a new volatile configuration key, {config:option}`instance-volatile:volatile.attached_volumes`, in the configuration of supported storage drivers for instance snapshots. This key contains a JSON-serialized map of attached volume UUIDs to the UUIDs of their corresponding snapshots. Example value: `{<volume1-uuid>: <snapshot1-uuid>,<volume2-uuid>: <snapshot2-uuid>}`.

(extension-vm-persistent-bus)=
## `vm_persistent_bus`

Adds support for persistently recording VM PCIe bus allocations in volatile configuration keys.

This introduces two new volatile VM configuration keys:

* {config:option}`instance-volatile:volatile.<name>.bus` - records the bus number for the device.
* {config:option}`instance-volatile:volatile.bus.mode` - records whether "persistent" mode is being used for a VM.

(extension-instance-placement-groups)=
## `instance_placement_groups`

Placement groups define how instances are scheduled across cluster members according to a configurable placement policy (`spread` or `compact`) and rigor (`strict` or `permissive`). They can be referenced in instance and profile configuration through the {config:option}`instance-placement:placement.group` key to control placement behavior during instance creation and migration.

New API endpoints:

1. `GET /1.0/placement-groups` — List all placement groups
1. `POST /1.0/placement-groups` — Create a new placement group
1. `GET /1.0/placement-groups/{name}` — Retrieve details for a specific placement group
1. `PUT /1.0/placement-groups/{name}` — Replace a placement group definition
1. `PATCH /1.0/placement-groups/{name}` — Update selected properties of a placement group
1. `DELETE /1.0/placement-groups/{name}` — Delete a placement group

(extension-ovn-nic-acceleration-parent)=
## `ovn_nic_acceleration_parent`

Adds support for specifying the OVN NIC acceleration physical function interfaces to allocate virtual functions from.

This avoids the need for adding physical function interfaces to the OVN integration bridge.

This introduces a new `ovn` network and `ovn` NIC configuration key:

* {config:option}`device-nic-ovn-device-conf:acceleration.parent` - Comma separated list of physical function (PF) interfaces to allocate virtual functions (VFs) from for hardware acceleration when {config:option}`device-nic-ovn-device-conf:acceleration` is enabled.

(extension-storage-and-profile-operations)=
## `storage_and_profile_operations`

Certain storage and profile endpoints that were previously synchronous now return an operation and behave asynchronously.

Newer LXD Go clients detect the presence of this API extension. When it is available, the client receives an operation object directly from the LXD server.
If the extension is not present, the server response is wrapped in a completed operation, allowing the caller to handle it as an operation while lacking a retrievable operation ID.

Older LXD Go clients are incompatible with servers that include this extension.
Instead of returning a successful response, they will receive an operation response.

Endpoints converted to asynchronous behavior:

* `POST /storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{type}` - Create storage volume
* `PUT /storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{type}/{vol}` - Update storage volume
* `PATCH /storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{type}/{vol}` - Patch storage volume
* `POST /storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{type}/{vol}` - Rename storage volume
* `DELETE /storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{type}/{vol}` - Delete storage volume
* `PUT /storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{type}/{vol}/snapshots/{snap}` - Update storage volume snapshot
* `PATCH /storage-pools/{pool}/volumes/{type}/{vol}/snapshots/{snap}` - Patch storage volume snapshot
* `PUT /1.0/profiles/{name}` - Update profile
* `PATCH /1.0/profiles/{name}` - Patch profile

(extension-storage-source-recover)=
## `storage_source_recover`

As part of the recovery process it might be necessary to recover existing storage pools previously created by LXD.

Before this was only partially possible for some of the drivers (e.g. by using `lvm.vg.force_reuse`), but not directly supported.
The new pool `source.recover` configuration key can be set per cluster member to allow reuse of an existing pool `source`.
What it does not allow is reusing the same source for multiple storage pools.
The LVM storage driver has the specific `lvm.vg.force_reuse` configuration key for this purpose.

(extension-instance-force-delete)=
## `instance_force_delete`

This adds support for a `force` query parameter to the `DELETE /1.0/instances/{name}` endpoint. When set, running instances will be forcibly stopped before deletion.

(extension-operation-metadata-entity-name)=
## `operation_metadata_entity_url`

Each {ref}`operation event <ref-events-operation>` has a `resources` field that contains URLs of LXD entities that the operation depends on.

When an instance, instance backup, or storage volume backup is created, it is not strictly required for the caller to provide the name of the new resource.
In this case, the URL of the expected resource is added to the resources map for clients to inspect and use.
The `resources` field then contains both a dependency of the operation, and the newly created resource (which may not exist yet).

To improve consistency, this API extension adds an `entity_url` field to operation metadata.
The field contains the expected URL of the created entity.
The field is only included when a resource is being created asynchronously (operation response), and where it is not required for the entity name to be specified by the client.
For synchronous resource creation, clients should inspect the `Location` header.

The `resources` field should no longer be relied upon for this information.

(extension-instance-boot-mode)=
## `instance_boot_mode`

Introduces the new {config:option}`instance-boot:boot.mode` configuration key to control the VM boot firmware mode.
This replaces the removed `security.csm` and `security.secureboot` settings.

The new setting accepts:
* `uefi-secureboot` (default) - Use UEFI firmware with secure boot enabled
* `uefi-nosecureboot` - Use UEFI firmware with secure boot disabled
* `bios` - Use legacy BIOS firmware (SeaBIOS), `x86_64` (`amd64`) only

(extension-auth-bearer-lxd)=
## `auth_bearer`

Adds new identity type `bearer` that allows authentication with the LXD API using bearer tokens.
See {ref}`LXD bearer tokens <authentication-bearer>`.

If applicable, the endpoint `/1.0/auth/identities/current` now also exposes the credential expiration time.
The `expires_at` field is set when the current identity is trusted and the authentication method is either `bearer` or `tls`.
In these cases, it reports the expiration time of the bearer token or the TLS certificate, respectively.

(extension-vm-limits-max-bus-ports)=
## `vm_limits_max_bus_ports`

This introduces support for the {config:option}`instance-resource-limits:limits.max_bus_ports` configuration key for virtual machines. This option controls the maximum allowed number of user configurable devices requiring a dedicated PCI/PCIe port for a virtual machine.
This number includes both the devices attached before the instance start and the devices hotplugged at runtime.

(extension-instances-state-selective-recursion)=
## `instances_state_selective_recursion`

Adds support for selective recursion when querying instances.

The API now supports selective state field fetching using semicolon-separated syntax in the `recursion` parameter:

* `recursion=2;fields=state.disk` - Fetch only disk information
* `recursion=2;fields=state.network` - Fetch only network information
* `recursion=2;fields=state.disk,state.network` - Fetch both disk and network
* `recursion=2;fields=` - Fetch no expensive state fields (disk and network skipped)
* `recursion=2` - Fetch all fields (default behavior)

The semicolon and equals signs must be URL-encoded when used in HTTP requests (`%3B` for `;` and `%3D` for `=`).

The `lxc list` command automatically optimizes queries based on requested columns.

(extension-project-delete-operation)=
## `project_delete_operation`

The {ref}`forced project deletion <extension-projects-force-delete>` API extension added support for forcibly deleting a project and all of its contents.
This can take a long time, but the `DELETE /1.0/projects/{name}` endpoint still returned a synchronous response.

This extension converts this endpoint to an asynchronous operation response.
As with the {ref}`storage and profile operation extension <extension-storage-and-profile-operations>`, this extension is forward compatible only.

(extension-gpu-cdi-amd)=
## `gpu_cdi_amd`

Adds support for using the Container Device Interface (CDI) specification to configure AMD GPU passthrough in LXD containers. The `id` field of GPU devices now accepts CDI identifiers (for example, `amd.com/gpu=gpu{INDEX}`) for containers, in addition to DRM card IDs.
