LXC-LXD-2.x-curl-API.md

It is possible to use curl to query the LXD unix.socket directly:

curl --unix-socket /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket http:/1.0/containers | jq .

Example output:

{
  "type": "sync",
  "status": "Success",
  "status_code": 200,
  "operation": "",
  "error_code": 0,
  "error": "",
  "metadata": [
    "/1.0/containers/base",
    "/1.0/containers/jay-test-99",
    "/1.0/containers/jays-awesome-container-2"
  ]
}
