> there is no way to easily self host images

When you run lxd init there's an option to make the server available over the network (default: No), if enabled you can host images from there.

    lxc remote add myimageserver images.bamboozled.com
    lxc publish myimage
    lxc image copy myimage myimageserver
    
    lxc launch myimageserver:myimage

That's half the story, I don't want to have to build my own infra to host something simple like an image in a redundant highly available way.

In the end I just settled from hosting on s3, downloading the images with curl (or similar) and running `lxc import`.

The support in configuration management tooling is also pretty limited and the stuff I've used has been fairly buggy, in my opinion, because it's not very popular.
