Set instance or server configuration keys

## Synopsis
```{line-block}

Description:
  Set instance or server configuration keys

  For backward compatibility, a single configuration key may still be set with:
      incus config set [<remote>:][<instance>] <key> <value>



```
```
incus config set [<remote>:][<instance>[/<snapshot>]] <key>=<value>... [flags]
```

## Examples

```
  incus config set [<remote>:]<instance> limits.cpu=2
      Will set a CPU limit of "2" for the instance.

  incus config set my-instance cloud-init.user-data - < cloud-init.yaml
      Sets the cloud-init user-data for instance "my-instance" by reading "cloud-init.yaml" through stdin.

  incus config set core.https_address=[::]:8443
      Will have the server listen on IPv4 and IPv6 port 8443.
```
