Sounds like you should be able to do all that by just writing a python daemon using the python3-lxc API and python's builtin xmlrpc server. That'll give you an easy way to retrieve container objects and call the various functions from any language (as xmlrpc is pretty standard) and authentication is as easy as standard http auth. > This set of features will allow on to build up an application for > centralized LXC cluster status visualization and control. > > I guess, is it what was D-Bus designed for? No, D-Bus is a local RPC/message passing mechanism. It can be used over the network but doing it safely is a major pain. > > > Greetings > > Guido > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
