Pantry: LXC-Web-Panel reloaded

Pantry is an easy to use Linux Containers manager.

• NEW Installer to make it even easier to start running.
• Display some host and container information: IP, CPU, Mem and Disk usage.
• List, create, delete containers and change container settings.
• Start, stop and freeze containers
• Create container backup to a tar.gz
• List, create and delete snapshots
• Show system compatibility
• Manage panel users
• Expose container operations through a REST API and Manage API authoritation tokens

This is a fork of the original LXC-Web-Panel from https://github.com/lxc-webpanel/LXC-Web-Panel and https://github.com/claudyus/LXC-Web-Panel/ looking for LXC 2.x compatibility, Python 3, UI updating, New features like snapshots and backup restore management, and Fabric (fabfile) integration to be able to manage remote hosts.

The code was tested on Debian 10 Buster and Python 3.8.

We are working on this heavily so expect frequent changes in code, installation docs outdated, ...

All contributions are welcomed.

Installation from source code

Easiest way to run it is using Pyenv:

::

curl https://pyenv.run | bash

Add following to your .bashrc or .zshrc

::

export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH" eval "$(pyenv init -)" eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

After that continue Pyenv setup:

::

exec $SHELL pyenv update pyenv install 3.8.1 pyenv rehash pyenv global 3.8.1 OR pyenv local 3.8.1

::

git clone https://github.com/EstudioNexos/LXC-Web-Panel.git pantry cd pantry pip install -r requirements.txt python setup.py install ./bin/gtr # run lwp wth debug support

We recomend using /var/pantry/backups or /var/backups/pantry path.

First run we will get an installer page, most of defaults are OK and just click INSTALL.

Then stop gtr with CTRL+C and start it again.

Default login is admin/admin but soon it will be configurable through the installer.

Your lwp panel is now at http://localhost:5000/.

htpasswd

To enable authentication against htpasswd file you should set auth type to htpasswd and file variable in htpasswd section to point to the htpasswd file.

This backend use the crypt function, here an example where -d force the use of crypt encryption when generating the htpasswd file:

htpasswd -d -b -c /etc/lwp/httpasswd admin admin

PAM

To enable authentication against PAM you should set auth type to pam and service variable in pam section. Python PAM module needs to be installed:

apt-get install python-pam

or

pip install pam

or

yum install python-pam

With default login service all valid linux users can login to pantry. Many more options are available via PAM Configuration, see PAM docs.

HTTP

This auth method is used to authenticate the users using an external http server through a POST request. To enable this method auth type to http and configure the option under http section.
