Just released version 0.7.0
It should be much faster and just better
Added
-
Access control - This will break any existing scripts that you may have,
it uses sessions for everything which isn’t good API design (stateful)
so ill have to switch to using the tokens to authenticate the API
This includes the basic functionality to login, add users & reset passwords
it doesn’t add any kind of per user restrictions! -
Thanks to Shem Pasamba (@shemgp) for implementing the user token
functionality for the node server and that will be used for api requests
in the future. -

-
Total storage available to fleet analytics
-
View, create & delete proxy devices on a host (#165)
-
Instance network’s bytes sent / recieved to server overview (#169)
-
Jump between instances, snapshots, images, & profiles from used by tables
Changed
- Indicate cluster groups & standalone hosts on dashboard (#150)
- Load profile on click instead of passing around an array containing profile data
- Indicate cluster groups & standalone hosts on profiles
- Indicate cluster groups & standalone hosts on storage
- Indicate cluster groups & standalone hosts on networks
- Indicate cluster groups & standalone hosts on projects
- Clear modals on hidden (#164)
- Quite a lot of the UI was updated (to what I think is better)
Fixed
@turtle0x1 did someone reach out already about looking at packaging this as a snap?
With the upcoming launch of Ubuntu Core 20, we were planning on releasing a LXD appliance so folks can easily deploy an image based auto-updated system either in a cloud instance or on a spare piece of hardware, then use it as a LXD remote to run containers and VMs on their network.
While looking into this I brought up LXD Mosaic as something we could bundle with that appliance to provide a nice user friendly web interface. For this to be viable though, we’d need a strictly confined snap version of LXD mosaic. I can’t think of any reason why it wouldn’t be possible to do this though. So was wondering if anyone reached out to you about that yet?
Hi @stgraber that’s really exciting & Id be glad to help!
Nobody has reached out yet with regards to making a snap, ill ping you my email & take another shot while I wait I took a shot and have no idea what im doing (I tried reading the docs) an apache example would probably not go a miss 
Do you have any kind of expected date ? Its just there are probably some quality of life fixes I should prioritize

This is possibly quite a bit larger than your project, but nextcloud is also a PHP app that’s available as a snap, uses apache, php and a database, so possibly similar to an extent.
Nice! \o/
Just released version 0.9.0 which includes the following highlights;
Added
- Version check showing if there is an update available
- Create, read, update & delete image aliases
- Update image “public” & “auto update” properties
- Display some of the system details provided in LXD >= 4.1
- Export instance as image
- Create profile
- Monitor instance metrics (load average (if hosts supports), network, memory & nvidia gpu information if
nvidia.runtimeis present) - Allow user to create custom dashboards of instance metrics
- Documentation for instance settings
- Backup scheduling
Changed
- Use the LXD recursion param to drastically improve fetching instances time
- Add show password toggle when adding servers
Fixed
- Cant add more than one profile to deploy cloud config
The instance metrics gathering doesn’t require any external programs or any programs to run on the instances themselves
Example viewing instance metrics
Example Own Dashboard (This needs some work but its a start)

Nice work.
How load average metrics is obtained?
Enable lxcfs load averages on the LXD host (may require a restart) and then select a host from the sidebar, click the cog / settings and enable the load averages checkbox it will auto gather from there 
Thank you, but I meant how you get it via LXD API. I found that you are using something like lxc exec c1 – cat /proc/loadavg.
Yeah thats the way, the only other option was deploy a pyhton script that gathered the data and wrote it to a file and the use the file api to pull the files from the file system (this is messy in practice though and much harder to code for (it also grows the instances filesystem which isn’t great))
Also you have to understand its pretty useless unless the user has LXCFS enabled on the hosts, other wise all instances will report the same load average
2 years ago today (Dec 29 2018) the first commit for LXD Mosaic was published, so happy birthday

Hi @turtle0x1
Keep up the good work!
I built LXD cluster on some physical machine, all using Ubuntu Server 20.04… I have LXDmosaic installed via Snap in one of my LXD instance… Feeling good to have a GUI instead of CLI for seasonal sysadmin like me…
I think this project is very potential!
Looking forward for future improvements… By the way, just an input, maybe in the future it will have change skin/theme feature…
Thanks!
