LxDev
Automagic dev environment using LXD
TODO
Automatic creation of sudoers fileYAML config with container name, forwarded ports, mapped folders etcCreate user within containerInsertion of developer's ssh key in containerSome support for automatic provisioning'status' commandCreate a gem
Architectural decisions
- Simple commandline based interface like vagrant
- Use existing tools as far as possible (ssh-add -L for keys, redir for port forwarding, and of course LXD)
- Use lxc commands with --format=json for ease of processing
Nice to have
- Take advantage of snapshots if possible
- Support for distros other than Ubuntu
Building gem
gem build lxdev.gemspec
gem install lxdev-0.1.0.gem
