brave init
Create a new Bravetools host
brave init
Description
When Bravetools is installed for the first time, it will set up all required components to connect your host to LXD.
brave init will:
- Create
~/.bravetoolsdirectory that stores all your local images, configurations, and a live Unit database
On Mac and Windows platforms:
- Create a new Multipass instance of Ubuntu 18.04
- Install snap LXD
- Enable mounting between host and Multipass
On Linux distributions:
- Set up a new LXD profile
bravetools-$USER - Create a new LXD bridge
bravetoolsbr0 - Create a new storage pool
bravetools-$USER
These steps ensure that Bravetools establishes a connection with LXD server and runs a self-contained LXD environment that doesn’t interfere with any potentially existing profiles and LXD bridges.
