# `lxc config set`

Set instance or server configuration keys

## Synopsis

Description:
Set instance or server configuration keys

For backward compatibility, a single configuration key may still be set with:
lxc config set [<remote>:][<instance>] <key> <value>

```none
lxc config set [<remote>:][<instance>] <key>=<value>... [flags]
```

## Examples

```none
  lxc config set [<remote>:]<instance> limits.cpu=2
      Will set a CPU limit of "2" for the instance.

  lxc config set core.https_address=[::]:8443
      Will have LXD listen on IPv4 and IPv6 port 8443.
```

## Options

```none
