Manage Your Containers Without the Command Line Gymnastics

LXTUI gives you a fast, visual interface for managing LXC and LXD containers. See resource usage in real time, create and manage containers, and run commands — all from a clean terminal UI.

LXTUI

Container management, simplified.

What LXTUI Does

If you manage Linux containers, you know the drill — long command strings, multiple terminal windows, and no quick way to see what is running where. LXTUI fixes that.

Visual Dashboard

See all your containers at a glance — name, status, IP address, resource usage. No more running lxc list every 30 seconds.

Real-Time Monitoring

CPU, memory, and network usage updated live. Spot resource issues before they become problems.

Container Operations

Create, start, stop, restart, and delete containers with a few keystrokes. Run shell commands inside any container without detaching from the UI.

Keyboard-Driven

Vim-style navigation for speed. Everything is accessible from the keyboard — no mouse required, no web browser needed.

Built for Speed

LXTUI runs directly in your terminal — fast, lightweight, and zero dependencies beyond the binary itself.

Why Teams Choose LXTUI
  • No web server required — runs in any terminal, even over SSH
  • Instant startup — opens and shows container status immediately
  • Async operations — the UI stays responsive even during heavy operations
  • Lightweight — single binary, minimal resource usage
  • Works everywhere — any Linux system with LXC/LXD installed
Container Operations
  • List all containers with status and IP
  • Create new containers from templates
  • Start, stop, restart, and delete containers
  • Execute commands inside containers
  • Monitor CPU, memory, and network live

Who Uses LXTUI
