LXD project by GO-SQUADS Tech Intern 2017

This is the setup for LXD team's project. The Vagrantfile is configured to make a web-interface VM (if ENABLE_WEB_INTERFACE is true) and a number of nodes (according to NODE_COUNT) in a DHCP private network.

The web-interface is provisioned with chef-solo to setup lxd-web-interface. The nodes are provisioned to setup and initialize LXD (feature branch) using lxd init --preseed. See Vagrantfile and preseed.yaml for more details.

It isn't fully automated yet, requiring manual configuration for:

1. Fetching and adding node VM IP to the Ip_Addresses table of lxdwebinterface psql db.
2. Certificate authentication for LXD API (https://NODE_IP:8443/1.0/certificates).
3. Creating a default container image.

Prerequesites are VirtualBox and Vagrant. To install, please run:

$ brew cask install virtualbox vagrant

If you're on Mac, you need an updated curl with a newer version of OpenSSL to authenticate a certificate to the LXD API. Please run:

$ brew install curl --with-nghttp2
$ brew link curl --force
$ echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

And restart your terminal.

After cloning, run this in the root of the repo:

$ vagrant up

Done! To go into the web-interface VM, run vagrant ssh web-interface. exit to get out. You can access the LXD API through through https://NODE_IP:8443/.

To authenticate certificates for LXD API, you need to:

1. Retreive the node IP using ifconfig (inside the node VM).
2. Gerenerate an SSL certificate, or just use one from the root of lxd-web-interface.
3. Post the certificate with curl -k --cert client.crt --key client.key https://NODE_IP:8443/1.0/certificates -X POST -d '{"type": "client", "password": "admin"}'
4. Now you're fully authenticated. Try curl -k --cert client.crt --key client.key https://NODE_IP:8443/1.0 -X GET.
