[Lxc-users] Control panel

[matthew byers]

This is a great start as i have heard many folks inquire about this for lxc.
I dont know if you all are familiar with something called Proxmox (debian
with openvz kernel for openvz and kvm containers) but it has a great web
browser based control panel that is accessed via the server ip address. The
panel has some functions such as:
1. Start/stop/restart containers (as discussed already)
2. VNC into a container
3. Creation/destruction of containers
4.manage container resources (RAM, hdd size, container ip, dns, etc)

Im not sure with the resource management as we use cgroups but i just wanted
to throw out some ideas on it.
