Hype

About

A simple interface in flask and python3, to mange and get a status of my vm and lxc containers.

Using the python3-lxc and libvirt to communcate with lxc/kvm api.

Creation need also the lxc-templates.

Be carefull !! By default, the authentification is PAM. This PAM auth is based on the library simplepam. This means that by default, the allowed users, are the user in the server.

Install

Some requirements are needed :


Ubuntu/Debian:

Using basic package in apt debian repositories.
The script will install software dependencies, create a virtual environnement "hype_env" and download all Python dependancies in ths virtual env.

  python3 -m venv hype_env  --system-site-packages

Just launch the Debian install script :

 In root or sudo user :
  root$ chmod +x Debian_install.sh
  root$ sh ./Debian_install.sh

Network

By default, Libvirt use a default network setting, creating a private LAN:

<network>
  <name>default</name>
  <bridge name='virbr0'/>
  <forward/>
  <ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
    <dhcp>
      <range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254'/>
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

If you want the server to be linked to you LAN, create a Bridge interface. For example in Debian (here eth0 is the main interface)

In /etc/network/interface :


allow-hotplug eth0

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_fd 0
bridge_maxwait 0
address 192.168.XX.XX
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway	192.168.XX.XX

Restart the network manager and check if you can see your interface called br0.

You have then, to create a bridge interface in Libvirt:


<network>
  <name>bridged</name>
  <forward mode="bridge" />
  <bridge name="br0" />
</network>

Then enable anc activate this interface :

virsh net-define bridge.xml 
virsh net-start bridged
virsh net-autostart bridged

Don't forget to map this network on Virtual Server Creation.

Start

Debian install script, will create a virtual environement. To start in this venv :


 #. hype_env/bin/activate
 (hype_env)#python3 hype.py


Ensure that you are in the Virtal env, else you will not be able to user required python libs.

Then go on your browser :

 http://{{IP}}:5005

WebTerminal

The Containers are accessible thought a Web Terminal.

It use the librairy PyXtermJS

The install script will change : - host listening from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

The install script will keep the previous files *.save. just move the .save to original name to rollback.

Port configuration

By default, the script run :
- 5005 for the website
- 5000 for the Terminal interface
Please check your own configuration (firewall, proxy, reverse-proxy)

Roadmap
