x1aaron / lxq Goto Github PK

I have been thinking about LXQ over the weekend and I thinking about other ways to deploy applications.

One thought I had was using Salt Stack.

Another thought I had was using premade images, then we could just pull the images in.

Thoughts?

Hi, this looks cool. What license is this under? I realize this isn't a huge project yet, but it is important, since you are essentially cloning a copy into every users site. If some are using it for commercial purposes, as I plan to do, we would like to have our bases covered.

Thanks for the work!

Your scripts seem to be using wget from raw.github.com, you should just git clone the whole thing once, (and update it with git as needed), and just run from there.

Hi Aaron.

It seems to me that lxq remove is broken for installed on host kind of apps.

I installed cockpit but remove won't work:

root@lxd-server:~# lxq remove cockpit
ERROR: cockpit not found

I can fix my installation following and reversing the command in /opt/lxq/apps/cockpit/cockpit.install but it's not so comfortable.

Setups LXD and creates a container with NGINX as a reserve proxy.

should be "reverse"

I've found that many/most of the Bitnami applications work fine in LXD containers.

https://bitnami.com/stacks/cloud

Click on the Bitnami application you are interested in.

Under DEPLOYMENT OFFERING... under ON MY COMPUTER

Click on the WIN/MAC/LINUX tab

And you will see on the far right a Button to download the Bitnami Installer for that app.

Once it has downloaded to your PC, copy it to the LXD container you made for it.

Create an LXD container for that Application

lxc exec <container_name> bash

chmod +x app_installer_name
then
execute app_installer_name

The Bitnami installer then does its job installing the applicaiton for you.

You may have to still open a port etc but from your Host you should be able to point your browser to what the Bitnami tells you and you then should be able to use that application.

Obviously, to reach those from the Internet you'd have to use LXD's Device Proxy command to redirect traffic to your Host into the Container but that's easy enough to do.

Just a thought but wanted to tell you about Bitnami in case you weren't aware of it.

Hi,

I made a little change in your script and I'd like to share it with you.

You assume in apps/nginx.rules that the network interface is eth0, but, nowday it often has another name.
Because this is very crucial for dnat success of the configuration, I propose this changing:

diff --git a/apps/nginx/nginx.rules b/apps/nginx/nginx.rules

I used as "recipe" to get the interface name this code:

ip link | awk -F: '$0 !~ "lo|vir|lxd|^[^0-9]"{print $2a;getline}'

It's seems correct to me, but could be even better (or maybe asking it during init process?)

Hope it's useful
