[libvirt-users] libvirt and LXC
Hi there, I'm fairly new to libvirt and LXC, please forgive my ignorance. I was looking for a graphical tool to manage LXC containers and noticed that libvirt has support for LXC. Actually, I expected libvirt to be able to display and manage LXC hosts much like KVM. But it does not happen this way. The only thing I can see with virsh/virt-manager is storage pool with LXC containers, but not much else. No information on running/stopped containers or networking. libvirt is 0.9.7 on both LXC server and client I use to connect to the server. I use lxc+ssh for connection. Am I missing something obvious here? Some configuration file? libvirt documentation does not mention any. Kind regards, Ivars

virt-manager is able to manage LXC to some degree, you just need to make sure you tell virt-manager to connect to LXC instead of KVM.
