How to move/migrate LXD VM to another host on Linux

To move/migrate an LXD virtual machine to another host, follow these steps:

1. On the source host, stop the LXD container:

lxc stop <container name>

1. Export the container:

lxc export <container name> <file name>.tar.gz

1. Copy the exported tar archive to the target host:

scp <file name>.tar.gz <user>@<target host IP address>:~/

1. On the target host, import the container:

nn 

lxc import <file name>.tar.gz --rename <new container name>

1. Start the imported container:

nn 

lxc start <new container name>

1. Verify that the container is running correctly on the target host.

Note: Make sure that the LXD version on the target host is the same or higher than the one on the source host.
