Web UI for LXC
Does anyone know of a good simple web UI for LXC? I tried Proxmox which looks nice but seems like overkill for me. It has a lot of features I don't need, and all its KVM features don't work for me since I'm already running this inside a KVM VPS that doesn't have nested virtualization enabled.
All I want is the ability to see CPU, RAM and network usage, change CPU/RAM limits, and start/stop the containers.
Thanks!

You should switch to LXD, which is very similar to LXC but with more features. This exists for LXD: https://github.com/AdaptiveScale/lxdui
I personally use Ansible to provision/update stuff so don't really like a UI but I can see why people may want to use it.
Thanks! That one looks good. Last I looked at LXD a few years ago, it didn't support Debian. Looks like it supports Debian now, using snapd. I'll try it out on Debian, or maybe I'll just wipe the VPS and use Ubuntu instead.
Proxmox.
Already mentioned that I tried it... It seems good but uses quite a bit of RAM, and I'm not using a lot of the features. Looking for something lighter.
Ah sorry i overread it. But yea, its definetly the best option if you need a (web)GUI. Otherwise if you want paid maybe virtualizor.
@arhue - I just tried this one out, and it's perfect for me. Thank you!
did you able to make it work ?
i was also using proxmox on ovh vps but for containers its too much , tried lxdui but always getting some errors , thought it might be broken .
Yeah, got it working with Debian buster (testing), Linux kernel 4.19 and Python 3.x. What issues were you seeing?
You can also check Mist v4.3 which was just released. You can ignore the other supported providers and do only LXD.
The open source version is at https://github.com/mistio/mist-ce
