Hi, thanks for your great work on this.
Now i'm very excited to test your webvirtcloud and wonder if you plan to support LXC/LXD through libvirt?

Does this offer an API so i can integrate with other apps for provisioning VMs to users?

@fossxplorer I just push a patch about docker container at #58, it may be close to what you asked for?

@jcppkkk Thanks for you works. But no, it's not what i asked for. I need to be able to run LXC/LXD containers using webvirtcloud, i.e not to use KVM to create the VMs/guests. Ideally, webvirtcloud should support the new opencontainer's runc, which agains supports among others, systemd-nspawn.
For web hosting purposes, lightweight container such as LXC/LXD, OpenVZ or perhaps systemd-nspawn is a must :)

LXC support would be great. Its really matured over the years and I am seeing it quickly replace openvz. I really use a mix of KVM and LXC and having the ability for webvirtcloud to manage both would be great.
