[Users] Question about libvirt and prlctl

[Konstantin Bukharov]

Hello Paolo!

We had libvirt driver for CTs some time ago.
Its functionality was not on par with prlctl/vzctl and it was dropped from provided binary releases.

Best regards,
Konstantin

Subject: [Users] Question about libvirt and prlctl

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!
