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/
SSL direct support was dropped after v0.6 release.
You can configure nginx as reverse proxy if you want to use SSL encryption, see bug #34 for info.
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 authentication agains PAM you should set auth
type to pam
and service
variable in pam
section. Python PAM module needs to be installed:
pip install python-pam
With default login
service all valid linux users can login to lwp. Many more options are available via PAM Configuration, see PAM docs.
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.
