HTML5 management interface for KVM

kimchi-project: has anyone tried this product?

Well you can review it and install it and check it out and then publish your thoughts here. Based on my experience it is very simple and you cant choose many options from the web interface last time i checked it.
I need to configure my VM with virtIO driver and the web interface defaults to something else I forgot what it was.
Also it relies on WoK which is framework, so its not really native solution... and your better of testing it from docker image which is much more quicker.
Cause KVM have so many front-ends, just use RHEL supported ones = Ovirt or VirtManager.
And dont expect fancy things with opensource and free stuff,

@FATeknollogee I looks like development has stopped on the project as well.

Xen Orchestra is open source and offered for free, and it's totally fancy.

XO doesn't do KVM, does it?

@FATeknollogee No, only Xen Server.

Take a look at the topic title.

@dafyre I know, I brought up XO because @msff-amman-Itofficer said don't expect fancy and free things from open source.

This ^ and documentation was a PITA.
Anyway, I tested it...meh...forget this as a solution.
It's very simplistic & I don't see a way to add multiple hosts. -

Why not? Open source is almost always way fancier. Just look at office suites, desktops and other big ticket items. Open source has decades of being in the lead in those areas - as far as fancy look and feel.

He was responding to the open source doesn't do fancy things.

For 29 days? That's hardly "stopped".

I've used WebVirtMgr for a while... not so useful but nice

It's not terrible. I've gotten to like Virt-Manager better, lol.

Just take comparison UI between LibreOffice vs MS Office 2013
Sure Libre might do better in functionality, but in looks it is not fancy -

While I will agree that LibreOffice looks fine now, it was not always that way.
I think prior to 2010 it looked bad.
My memory is not the greatest, so if anyone can find dates on GUI changes to LO, then that would be great.
But it is certainly not decades better in the open source. That is just stupid. The WordPerfect suite and MS Office suite were the only two things that had decent functionality in the GUI until very recently.

WordPerfect was traditionally the ugliest Office product ever. MS Office was way, way ahead in looks even by MS Office 6. WP was awful. Maybe they lept forward before basically disappearing, but they were SO bad for so long. That's what I had to use in college and it was worse than things from a decade before.

Calligra was always okay. Not great, but certainly not bad.
