virt-meow

virt-meow is a libvirt virtual machine manager, a modern replacement for virt-manager: for the machines on this computer, or on others over SSH.

• Several connections at once (qemu:///system, qemu:///session, qemu+ssh), kept alive and reconnected on their own
• SSH in process, with host keys checked and trusted only on your word
• Create machines from an ISO, with BIOS, UEFI or Secure Boot and a TPM
• Disks, networks, storage pools, snapshots and the XML definition
• VNC and SPICE consoles, and the serial console
• The same from the command line, virt-mm, and in a browser with virt-mm serve

This is an alpha release: it is tested against libvirt in a container, little yet on real hosts.

This package ships the official release build unmodified. The command line is available as flatpak run --command=virt-mm io.github.jing2uo.VirtMeow help.

Permissions: network, the GPU, this computer's libvirt sockets (/run/libvirt and the session daemon's), the SSH agent and ~/.ssh read-only for keys and known hosts, notifications and the keychain. Storage stays with libvirt: an ISO or disk image is uploaded into a storage pool from the file dialog, so no folder of yours is shared.
