PlinkerRPC - LXD

Control LXD through RPC which uses the local instance of LXD and lxc query to manage local or remote LXD servers.

Install

Require this package with composer using the following command:

$ composer require plinker/lxd

Setup

The webserver user must be able to execute lxc commands, so add the user to sudoers file under User privilege specification:

# User privilege specification
root     ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
www-data ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/lxc

Also add www-data to lxd group:#

sudo usermod --append --groups lxd www-data

Client

Creating a client instance is done as follows:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

/**
 * Initialize plinker client.
 *
 * @param string $server - URL to server listener.
 * @param string $config - server secret, and/or a additional component data
 */
$client = new \Plinker\Core\Client(
    'http://example.com/server.php',
    [
        'secret' => 'a secret password'
    ]
);

// or using global function
$client = plinker_client('http://example.com/server.php', 'a secret password');

Basic Usage

Essentially you can do any LXD operation with the single $client->lxd->query() method, or you can use the helper methods which cover all the LXD endpoints.
