Cors error when attempting to access webgui

[egeexyz]

First time setting this project up, followed the documentation word-for-word several times.

Upon loading into either the webgui or the https://localhost:9000/ endpoint, a certificate warning is issued. The warning can be bypassed and the LXD endpoint returns a 200 with some data.

The webgui also returns a certificate error (ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID) along with a cors error (both Chrome and Firefox. I know Chrome is really picky about cors stuff):

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://localhost:9000/1.0. (Reason: expected ‘true’ in CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Credentials’).

Because of this error, I am unable to functionally use webgui

I believe the core of this issue is that the following configuration entry is missing from LXD:

lxc config set core.https_allowed_credentials

Ok, solved the problem -

This web app is only compatible with lxd 2.2 and above. Ubuntu 16.04 only comes with lxd 2.1 which does not have the configuration setting "core.https_allowed_credentials" which is required for cross-origin stuff.

I recommend updating the documentation to state that this app is only compatible with later versions of LXD. I used the following PPA to update mine - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-lxc/+archive/ubuntu/lxd-stable

Strange, I also use 16.04, i thought they updated their packages with the current LXD version. I'll check and updated readme accordingly, thanks!
