pyinfra-connector-lxcssh

pyinfra connector for executing commands inside LXC (not lxd) containers using SSH to host. Containers can be managed by root (sudo needed) or other users. Inside the container execution is always as a root only.

Instalation

• pip install pyinfra
• pip install git+https://github.com/opekar/pyinfra-connector-lxcssh

Usage

An inventory file (inventory.py) for connection to lxc container via lxc (not lxd):

    hosts = [
        ("lxcssh/host_lxc:container_name"),
    ]

pyinfra inventory.py deploy.py

    hosts = [
        ("lxcssh/host_lxc:container_name", {"more ssh params here, or sudo relateing params"}),
    ]

Another possibility:

In this case we know that the container is manager by root user (even thought the container itself can be unpriviledged)

    pyinfra  @lxcssh/lxc_host.company.example:container --sudo  exec -- lsb_release -a
