WebVirt now at FedoraHosted

January 26, 2009 9:53 am

WebVirt is the project I started after my recent obsession with Libvirt. Two weekends worth of work and it’s already talking to remote libvirt boxes; if only polling capabilities, defined networks and defined domains.

Since the architecture of the project has been laid out. I determined it was time to allow a little more attention than my website can provide.

Since I’ve been developing it on Fedora and intend on using it with Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS, I went with FedoraHosted.

Go check out the project Trac page: fedorahosted.org/webvirt

Libvirt kinda caught my attention

I’ve been working a lot with running virtual machines on Linux recently. An inevitable stop was to the libvirt project.

I started playing with creating xml configs for creating new domains, networks and storage. I had been planning on 1. learning pythong and 2. playing with django, so this jointly inspired me to start WebVirt, a web-based front-end to libvirt for managing virtual machines.

I spent this weekend completing my first two goals, coding basic xml generation for libvirt resources, GPLing and creating the repo.
