[OmniOS-discuss] pre-release: lxadm

[Dominik Hassler]

Hi,

just wanted to spread the word about lxadm. Its aim is to ease 
creation/editing/duplication of LX zones. Like kvmadm all the 
configuration can be done w/ a single JSON config.

The tool is not very well tested, yet so I am sure there are lots of 
bugs and it lacks tons of features but some of you might want to try it 
already.

By now it only works w/ images from Joyent's images repository (images 
get cached locally) but supporting individual images is on the roadmap.

basic usage:
* list all available images:
# lxadm list-images

* creating a LX zone using e.g. the latest debian 8 (jessie) can be done 
w/ a one-liner
# lxadm create $(lxadm list-images |grep debian-8 |tail -1 |awk '{print 
$1}') <zonename>

lxadm can be found on Github:
https://github.com/hadfl/lxadm

To avoid further noise on the mailing list please report issues, feature 
requests on Github only.

Cheers
Dominik
