[Users] Question about libvirt and prlctl

[Paulo Coghi - Coghi IT]

Hello OpenVZ community,


*Short question*
Is libvirt as complete as prlctl regarding OpenVZ/Virtuozzo containers
management? Can we change resources independently and without reboot using
libvirt instead of prlctl? Can we manage every aspect of a container on
libvirt as we can on prlctl?

*Full question*
I am developing a new open source OpenVZ control panel, as previously
discussed here on the list, based on NodeJS to the back-end API and a
modern front-end framework to the UI.

The only challenge for me is the communication between NodeJS and OpenVZ
and,
after asking for suggestions about this on the openvz-dev list, the most
prominent suggestion I received was to use the Virtuozzo SDK and node-gyp.

The first problem that I faced on this approach was that Google is moving
to gn, which means that the gyp's days of support are counted.

Researching for an alternative for node-gyp, I found cmake-js, that works
exactly like node-gyp, but instead of gyp, it is based on CMake build
system.

But it can't use C sources, but only compiled C libraries, and this
approach started to get a little complex for me to follow alone.

For this reason, I am currently considering to use libvirt and I would like
to know if it has feature-parity with prlctl, when managing
OpenVZ/Virtuozzo containers.



Thanks again!
