I have many lxd containers on my system. I cannot access them from network i do not have passwords

Is there a way to attach a bash like we can do on docker for example ?

Enable networking on the remote LXD:

lxc config set core.https_address [::]:8443
lxc config set core.trust_password PASSWORD

Add the target host as a remote (it will ask for PASSWORD):

lxc remote add REMOTE_NAME IP_ADDRESS

Run commands on the remote system:

lxc exec REMOTE_NAME:CONTAINER COMMAND

To get a shell you can pass bash or sh as command in most cases.
