Purpose

LXDHub is a management system for linux containers (LXC). With LXDHub you can visualize LXC images of multiple (private & public) remotes. One of the key features of LXDHub is to clone LXC images from one remote to another. Therefor you can mirror public remotes to your private remote.

Packages

Under the hood, LXDHub is split in five packages. The following graph visualizes the dependencies of each package.

Package Dependency

Name Version Description
@lxdhub/web - The LXDHub webinterface
@lxdhub/api npm version The REST API for the LXDHub webinterface
@lxdhub/dbsync npm version The script to synchronize multiple LXD remotes with the LXDHub database
@lxdhub/db npm version The package, which provides database functions for the @lxdhub/api and @lxdhub/dbsync packages
@lxdhub/common npm version The package, which provides common functions for all LXDHub-packages.

The packages @lxdhub/db and @lxdhub/common are solely libraries, which can not be run seperatly. Whereas the packages @lxdhub/web, @lxdhub/api and @lxdhub/dbsync can be run seperatly via Docker or NodeJS.

Environment for Manual Testing

LXC

First you need to install lxd. Then run the command ./bin/setup-local-test-remote.sh which uses the port 8443 for your local LXC REST API. The default password for your local remote is unsecret.

LXDHub API

The LXDHub API offers a test environment, which can be tested manually. To run the tests, NodeJS V9 needs to be installed and run npm install. Run

 
./bin/start-lxdhub-api-test-env.sh
 

The data will no be loaded from your local SQLite database. The model data inside the test environment, are defined inside the src/api/test/fixtures/*.json files.
