About LXD UI
LXD UI is a browser-based frontend for LXD, the system for managing containers and virtual machines. It is intended for managing instances on private clouds of small and large scale. It is an open source project published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license.
The interface is a single page application written in TypeScript and React. LXD must be installed and its server must listen on a network address, such as port 8443, before the interface can be reached from a browser. The project also publishes a changelog and a roadmap.
