Sami Loone 380af310e7 console: allow localhost connections over TCP
Fix console config validation for an edge case where both libvirt and
Spice/VNC TCP connection are on localhost. Transport over TCP does not
necessarily mean that libvirt connection is to a remote host.

Compare libvirt and graphics device addresses to localhost individually.
Raise an error only when guest device is bound to localhost but libvirt
connection is non-local (remote).

Validation that prevents fully local TCP seems to go back all the way to
bc13c302de ("console: Warn if qemu+tcp URI and listen == 127.0.0.1").

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
