Re: [lxc-users] LXD connectors for any web VM management platforms?

Not sure if this still works but it did when I last tried it.

https://github.com/dobin/lxd-webgui

This one is newer and has recent updates:

OpenNebula now has LXD container orchestration support..

Re: [lxc-users] LXD connectors for any web VM management platforms?

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ve been testing Proxmox for a few weeks.
I must say it’s not bad at all:
- it  supports ZFS (or CEPH) storage
-  allows high availability clusters
- LXD and KVM
- ACLs to different VMs or containers
- offers basic monitoring
- support pices are relatively decent
But 
- it is Debian based
- uses LXC instead of LXD
- does not support live migration of containers or KVM live migration when 
using local storage (ZFS)
- ?does not offer live kernel upgrade facility like Ubuntu does?
- does not allow clones of lxc containers
-didn’t find the fine grain resource control of LXD ( storage IOPS or 
Bandwidth,…)
- containers don’t have access to snapshots

The web interface is also not a complete customer portal. That being said I’ve 
seen there is a beta provider for ‘Foreman’ ( https://theforeman.org )

I’m still investigating it…

Michel

HI Kees,

Thanks for the info. I’ve already tried SaltStack but had the problem that the 
official LXC module was only lxc and not LXD. It worked, but the containers 
didn’t appear in ' lxc list’ . I’ll try the GitHub LXD formula.

I’ve also seen that there is a module in Ansible that I will try soon.

But I’ve also seen there are  systems with web graphical interfaces that offer 
an abstraction layer above clouds that can offer a merged view on private 
cloud/virtualization/containers servers and public clouds:
 CloudForms ( ManageIQ) and Foreman are 2 of them. 

From what I understand they offer a sort of customer portal, and integrate 
orchestration for provisioning automatisation. I was wondering if there is 
something like that compatible with lxd. I didn’t find any myself.

Thanks,

Michel

I'm not sure if you're after this kind of integratio, but saltstack can
provision containers.

Proxmox (https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve) is an open-source 
virtualisation platform with web interface that supports LXC.
