Weekly news #399

[dinmusic]

Weekly status for the week of 9th June to 15th June.

Introduction

This past week, LXD received several bug fixes, along with internal improvements aimed at making the codebase cleaner and easier to understand.

Thanks to all the contributors!

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the same volume could not be used for images (storage.images_volume) and temporary backup location (storage.backups_volume).

• Fixed an issue where lxc could panic when adding a new remote if the fingerprint confirmation input was empty.

• Fixed an issue where LXD did not reject an invalid cluster member evacuation mode. Valid cluster member evacuation modes are stop, migrate, and live-migrate.

• Fixed an issue where LXD running in a Snap incorrectly attempted to clean up proxy device unix sockets inside the Snap environment instead of the host filesystem.

LXD UI

• Added support for creating and listing of storage buckets.

• Added support for configuring cluster member evacuation and restoration modes. Additionally, error and success state handling has been improved for both actions.
