A keyboard-driven terminal UI for OpenStack.

Installation · Features · Keybindings · Configuration · License

lazystack is a fast, keyboard-first TUI for managing OpenStack resources from the terminal. It follows the "lazy" convention (lazygit, lazydocker) to provide an intuitive alternative to Horizon and the verbose OpenStack CLI.

Single binary. No runtime dependencies. Reads your standard clouds.yaml.

• Server management — list, create, delete, rename, rebuild, reboot, stop/start, pause, suspend, shelve, lock/unlock, rescue/unrescue, resize, snapshot, with bulk operations
• Volume management — list, detail, create, delete, attach (server picker), detach
• Floating IPs — allocate, associate, disassociate, release
• Security groups — create/delete groups, create/delete rules, expandable rule view
• Networks — create/delete networks, create/delete subnets, read-only port listing
• Routers — create/delete routers, add/remove interfaces (subnet picker), detail with routes
• Key pairs — create (RSA 2048/4096, ED25519), import with ~/.ssh/ file browser, detail view, save private key to file
• Images — list, detail, delete, deactivate/reactivate with status-aware coloring
• Load balancers (Octavia) — list, detail tree (listeners/pools/members), cascade delete
• Project switching — switch between accessible Keystone projects without restarting
• Quota overlay — compute, network, and storage quotas with color-coded progress bars
• Confirmation dialogs — all server state-change actions require explicit confirmation
• Dynamic tabs — tabs appear based on available services (no Cinder? no Volumes tab)
• Auto-refresh — all views refresh in the background at a configurable interval
• SSH integration — launch SSH sessions directly from the TUI, or copy the SSH command to clipboard
• Console access — retrieve noVNC console URL, open in browser or copy to clipboard
• Server cloning — clone servers with one keypress
• Cross-resource navigation — jump from server detail to attached volumes, security groups, or networks
• Console log and action history per server
• Column sorting on all list views
• Client-side filtering with /
• Bulk select with space for multi-server operations
• Self-update — --update flag to update to latest release
• Solarized Dark color scheme with status-aware coloring

• Go 1.26+ (build only)
• OpenStack cloud with Keystone v3 and Nova v2.1+
• A valid clouds.yaml

lazystack reads clouds.yaml from these locations (first match wins):

1. ./clouds.yaml (current directory)
2. $OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE
3. ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
4. /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml

No additional configuration is needed. If only one cloud is defined, lazystack connects automatically.

Built with:

• Bubble Tea v2 — TUI framework
• Lip Gloss v2 — styling
• Bubbles v2 — UI components
• gophercloud v2 — OpenStack SDK
