Re: [lxc-users] How to bootstrap a new cluster via REST API?

[Stéphane Graber]

I've not done it by hand in a while so my answer may not be 100%
accurate, but the best way to join a cluster these days is through
`PUT /1.0/cluster` which then takes:
- cluster_address as the address and port of the cluster you're joining
- cluster_certificate as the X509 PEM encoded certificate of the
cluster (cluster.crt on the target cluster effectively)
- server_address as the address and port of the joining server
- cluster_password as the trust password of the target cluster
- server_name as the name of the joining server
- enabled which must be set to true
- member_config as a list of key/value answers to the config
questions available in `GET /1.0/cluster` on the target cluster

Felix want to **create a new cluster**, by the sound of his message.

Sorry for my terrible english...

[Stéphane Graber]

Ah right, for that, it's even easier, doing PUT with just:

- server_address as the address and port you want LXD to listen on
for cluster traffic
- server_name as the name to use to refer to the initial server

- enabled which must be set to true
