How to install on production LXD?

[Igorgro]

I have an LXD installed from arch linux package (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lxd/), not snap. How I can install LXD-UI to it? I tried to build lxd-ui using yarn build and move build/ directory to /var/lib/lxd, but this didn't help, there still no ui available (even after restarting LXD). Where should I place compiled files to make LXD serving them? ARCHITECTURE.md does not contain this information

Ok, I found how to do that. The full instruction

1. Clone this repo
2. yarn && yarn build
3. Copy build/ui directory to /var/lib/lxd
4. Change the LXD_UI environment variable of LXD. This can be done using systemctl edit lxd command. In that file add the following lines:

   [Service]
   Environment=LXD_UI=/var/lib/lxd/ui

5. systemctl deamon-reload && systemctl restart lxd
6. Set core.https_address of LXD to make it listen for remote connections
7. Open <your-server-ip>:8443 and see UI

Closing this, as it is not an issue we can fix in the UI.

Can this be pinned or placed somewhere in docs?

I added a wiki page with your setup here: https://github.com/canonical/lxd-ui/wiki/Build-the-UI-for-Arch-and-other-Linux-Distributions
