python library for lxd
Project description
# pylxd [](https://travis-ci.org/lxc/pylxd)
A Python library for interacting with the LXD REST API.
## Getting started with pylxd
If you're running on Ubuntu Wily or greater:
sudo apt-get install python-pylxd lxd
otherwise you can track LXD development on other Ubuntu releases:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-git-master && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lxd
and install pylxd using pip:
pip install pylxd
## First steps
Once you have pylxd installed, you're ready to start interacting with LXD:
```python
import uuid
from pylxd import api
# Let's pick a random name, avoiding clashes
CONTAINER_NAME = str(uuid.uuid1())
lxd = api.API()
try:
lxd.container_defined(CONTAINER_NAME)
except Exception as e:
print("Container does not exist: %s" % e)
config = {'name': CONTAINER_NAME,
'source': {'type': 'none'}}
lxd.container_init(config)
if lxd.container_defined(CONTAINER_NAME):
print("Container is running")
else:
print("Whoops - please report a bug!")
containers = lxd.container_list()
for x in containers:
lxd.container_destroy(x)
```
## Bug reports
Bug reports can be filed at https://github.com/lxc/pylxd/issues/new
## Support and discussions
We use the LXC mailing-lists for developer and user discussions, you can
find and subscribe to those at: https://lists.linuxcontainers.org
If you prefer live discussions, some of us also hang out in
[#lxcontainers](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#lxcontainers) on irc.freenode.net.
