Compact and secure tool for managing LXC containers.
Using lxc-ui.py you can:
- navigate through list of containers
- create
- stop
- destroy
- freeze
- unfreeze
- connect to terminal
- rename
- clone
containers. UI is created using curses library and looks almost like midnight commander.
It can be used on server with very strict security policy. When external access is not allowed.
