Unable to connect to LXD API

Question

I have successfully installed the LXD 3.13 snap package. I have run lxd init and added myself to the lxd group, and am able to create containers:

$ lxc launch ubuntu: example
Creating example
Starting example

However, I am unable to connect to the REST API. I tried running curl --unix-socket /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket s/ as per here, a response of curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server is given.

Using node-lxd, I also receive an error saying:

constructor {
  _message: 'HTTP Error',
  _status: 'Failed',
  _statusCode: 400,
  _innerError:
   { Error: connect ENOENT /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket
       at PipeConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1104:14)
     errno: 'ENOENT',
     code: 'ENOENT',
     syscall: 'connect' } }

Answer 1

The Unix socket for the snap package of LXD is at

/var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket

You have been using the path for the Unix socket of the apt package of LXD.
