Lxdex

[turtle0x1]

The first public LXD indexer? Maybe if we ignore general purpose JSON indexers :partying_face:

When you have have more than 2 or 3 LXD hosts searching becomes slow because to search "fully" you have to hit multiple endpoints. This branch add supports for a multistage process to create a searchable index that should be snappy to search.

There is still quite a bit todo;

• [ ] Filter search results based on user access
• [ ] Scale test (beyond copying the array)
• [ ] Grab more paramaters
• [ ] Stop assuming user.user-data is YAML
• [ ] Concurrency on cache builder
• [ ] Document how it works
• [ ] Get scripts into cron jobs
• [ ] Adding settings to disable / enable / configure search
  • Scanning 30+ hosts to recursion level 2 every 5 mins probably isn't a good idea

Example search for "ubuntu run" (as in to mean, showing instances in Running state with a ubuntu image)
