[lxc-users] inventory / dashboard tool to manage LXD containers' lifecycle

[Nicola Volpini]

Hello, everyone.

As per subject: is there any existing project able to manage the
lifecycle of LXD containers via some form of frontend/webgui?

I am very pleased by what Foreman can do for VMs: It can assign a random
or predictable hostname, deploy a VM on a host of choice (or in the
cloud), kickstart/preseed it and then keep track of its existence for
all its life. When done with the vm it can be destroyed and removed from
the database.
Ansible tower is providing a very similar feature via system tracking
and even allowing the users to setup their own hosts via self-service
(surveys).

I am not aware of any support to LXD provided by Foreman and Ansible,
and I am honestly surprised since LXD is such a powerful piece of
technology.

Anyone out there who managed to integrate these tools and LXD? I would
be cool to do for LXD what has been done for VMs.

Thanks!
Nicola
