This is a fork of the original LXC-Web-Panel from https://github.com/lxc-webpanel/LXC-Web-Panel with a lot of improvements and bug fix for LXC 1.0+.
This version of lwp is featuring backup capability, RestAPI interface, LDAP support other that the necessary fixes to work with latest lxc version.
If you use this fork please ensure to use al least lxc 1.0.4. The code was tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04.
On ubuntu 12.04 you should install:
- LXC from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-lxc/+archive/daily
- python-flask from ppa: https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/python-flask
You can download latest debian packages from http://claudyus.github.io/LXC-Web-Panel/download.html or, better, you can also use the lwp debian repo:
wget -O - http://claudyus.github.io/LXC-Web-Panel/claudyus.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb http://claudyus.github.io/LXC-Web-Panel/ debian/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lwp.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lwp
Beware: The repository system was reorganize after the 0.6 release. See this blog post for more information
Note: you can also include the debian-testing repo inside your source.list file to receive release candidate build.
- Copy /etc/lwp/lwp.example.conf to /etc/lwp/lwp.conf
- edit it
- start lwp service
# service lwp start
Your lwp panel is not at http://locahost:5000/
To add SSL Support add to global section of lwp.conf this entries:
ssl = True pkey = mykey.key cert = mykey.cert
Where mykey.key and mykey.cert are the key and the certificate generated previously for example by the command:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout mykey.key -out mykey.cert
Default authentication is against the internal sqlite database, but it's possible to configure alternative backends.
To enable ldap auth you should set auth type to ldap inside your config file than configure all options inside ldap section.
See lwp.example.conf for references.
To enable authentication agains htpasswd file you should set auth type to htpasswd and file variable in htpasswd section to point to the htpasswd file.
To enable file bucket integration for the backup routine you shoul set to true the buckets key inside the global section of configuation file.
Than add a section buckets like this:
[global] . . buckets = True [buckets] buckets_host = remote_lan_ip buckets_port = 1234
After a fresh git clone you should download the bower component and setup the package for development purpose.
bower install sudo ./setup.py develop cp lwp.example.conf lwp.conf
Now you can run lwp locally using sudo ./bin/lwp --debug
Debug is just one of the available options to profile lwp you can use --profiling options, those options can also be
used against the global installation using: sudo lwp --debug
Anyway ensure to stop the lwp service if any: sudo service lwp stop
This repo contains a lot of mixed up from spare forks, I like to thanks all contributors to this project.
