Desktop tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt
95ba78f3e8
Previously we tried to use a combination of distro class and version number to produce a correct ordering that was independent of the osinfo short ID. The original intent was to have correct ordering for Windows entries in the virt-manager UI, since the short ID values are all over the place. Nowadays that doesn't really matter, since we weed out old unsupported entries by default. And in the mean time, our current sort method gives some weird results like interspersing silverblue entries with fedora entries. Using a natural/human sort is simpler and handles things pretty well. Change the UI to sort by the OS label too which preserves some of the good behavior of original method Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com> |

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 machinesvirt-clone
: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machinesvirt-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 ...
