# `lxc project promote-replica` Promote project to leader mode for replication ## Synopsis Description: Promotes the project to leader mode for replication. The project must take part in a replication topology: one with no replica mode set requires at least one replicator, and one in standby mode requires the replica.cluster config key. This also validates that all replicator targets are in standby mode, and that the cluster the project replicates with is no longer in leader mode. Use –force to skip these checks. ```none lxc project promote-replica [:] [flags] ``` ## Options ```none -f, --force Skip validation of the replication topology and remote project states ``` ## Options inherited from parent commands ```none --debug Show all debug messages --force-local Force using the local unix socket -h, --help Print help --project Override the source project -q, --quiet Do not show progress information --sub-commands Use with help or --help to view sub-commands -v, --verbose Show all information messages --version Print version number ``` ## SEE ALSO * [lxc project](https://canonical.com/lxd/docs/latest/reference/manpages/lxc/project/index.html.md#lxc-project-md) - Manage projects
