<br>
<br>You are correct, libvirt is not a web based application it's command
line based as you say, however it is a set of tools to control virtual
machines. On top of libvirt you can then build other management
applications which make calls to libvirt to do the underlying leg work.
<br>
<br>If you look at the libvirt website it actually lists some web based VM
managers built using libvirt: <a href="http://libvirt.org/apps.html#web" target="_blank">http://libvirt.org/apps.html#web</a>
<br>
<br>I'm also in the process of starting a cloud based hosting firm. However
we are looking at using OpenQRM: <a href="http://www.openqrm.com/" target="_blank">http://www.openqrm.com/</a>
<br>
<br>Another solution we looked at was Convirture:
<a href="http://www.convirture.com/products_opensource.php" target="_blank">http://www.convirture.com/products_opensource.php</a>
<br>
<br>I'd be interested to hear from any others on the list who are running
this kind of setup for web hosting or VPS provision or even just
datacenter infrastructure. What are you using?
<br>
<br>Kind Regards,
<br>Jamie.
