+# LXD Builder
+
+Type: `lxd`
+
+The `lxd` Packer builder builds containers for LXD. The builder starts an LXD
+container, runs provisioners within this container, then saves the container
+as an LXD image.
+
+The LXD builder requires a modern linux kernel and the `lxd` package.
+This builder does not work with LXC.
+
+## Basic Example
+
+Below is a fully functioning example. 
+
+``` {.javascript}
+{
+  "builders": [
+    {
+      "type": "lxd",
+      "name": "lxd-xenial",
+      "image": "ubuntu-daily:xenial",
+      "output_image": "ubuntu-xenial"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+### Required:
+
+-  `image` (string) - The source image to use when creating the build container. This can be a (local or remote) image (name or fingerprint). E.G. my-base-image, ubuntu-daily:x, 08fababf6f27...
+    Note: The builder may appear to pause if required to download a remote image, as they are usually 100-200MB. `/var/log/lxd/lxd.log` will mention starting such downloads.
+
+### Optional:
+
+-  `name` (string) - The name of the started container. Defaults to `packer-$PACKER_BUILD_NAME`.
+
+-  `output_image` (string) - The name of the output artifact. Defaults to `name`
+
