client_key aliases: key_file path	The client certificate key file path. If not specified, it defaults to `$HOME/.config/lxc/client.key`.
config dictionary	The config for the project (for example `{"features.profiles": "true"}`). See https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/api/#/projects/project_get. If the project already exists and its “config” value in metadata obtained from `GET /1.0/projects/<name>` https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/api/#/projects/project_get are different, then this module tries to apply the configurations https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/api/#/projects/project_put.
description string	Description of the project.
merge_project boolean	Merge the configuration of the present project with the new desired configuration, instead of replacing it. If configuration is the same after merged, no change will be made. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
name string / required	Name of the project.
new_name string	A new name of a project. If this parameter is specified a project will be renamed to this name. See https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/api/#/projects/project_post.
snap_url string	The Unix domain socket path when LXD is installed by snap package manager. Default: `"unix:/var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket"`
state string	Define the state of a project. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
trust_password string	The client trusted password. You need to set this password on the LXD server before running this module using the following command: `lxc config set core.trust_password <some random password>` See https://www.stgraber.org/2016/04/18/lxd-api-direct-interaction/. If `trust_password` is set, this module send a request for authentication before sending any requests.
