Production setup

These how-to guides cover common operations to prepare an LXD server setup for production.

Optimize performance

The lxd-benchmark tool measures the time to create instances in different configurations. In some scenarios, deployments can also be configured for increased bandwidth.

• Benchmark performance
• Increase bandwidth

Monitor metrics and logs

LXD collects metrics and logs that can be viewed as raw data or used with observability tools like Loki and Grafana.

• Monitor metrics
• Send logs to Loki
• Set up Grafana

Back up and recover

Full and partial server backups protect against data loss. Instance recovery and disaster recovery options are available for different failure scenarios.

• Back up a server
• Recover instances
• Disaster recovery with storage replication
