⁠What is in this image

The LXDWARE dashboard is built using Ubuntu 20.04. The web server is the latest version of NGINX with PHP as a server-side language. The dashboard securely connects to your remote LXD servers and make changes using the LXD REST API

⁠How to use this image

docker run -d --name dashboard -p 80:80 -v ~/lxdware:/var/lxdware --restart=always lxdware/dashboard:latest

This will create a container that keeps persistent data, such as your remote server information and keypairs. The web dashboard can be accessed using the IP address as the URL of your server. It runs on port 80.

⁠Exposed ports

• 80: This is the default http port.

⁠HTTPS

The dashboard doesn't support HTTPS itself. As with many docker images, it should be reverse proxied by NGINX, Apache, HAProxy or similar tool that will allow for the HTTPS connection.
