Allow Kimchi to manage other KVM servers #1132

Open alinefm opened 7 years ago

alinefm commented 7 years ago

Today Kimchi only manages the server on it is installed. The proposal of this request is to allow the admin to set on each server a Kimchi installation should manage. So you can have a single Kimchi installation that connects to a remote server and manage the guests there.

IMPORTANT: This request does not implies in having a single Kimchi UI with data content from multiple servers.

I'm just considering to use Kimchi for my KVM servers which I'm now managing from remote virt-manager (thru the ssh). As Kimchi is using libvirt there must be an easy way to do that like virt-manager can do it. So +1 for this request because without it, Kimchi can't be used remotely, in the VM, CT or like a Docker image.

Is it possible to get an update on this? Is it going to move from backlog to development?

alinefm commented 6 years ago

Hi @philled

It is still on Kimchi backlog and no target release to it yet. Probably, something to the end of this year.

Hi @alinefm,

Is this feature moving forward?

alinefm commented 5 years ago

Hi @rtpurificacao

I am working on it right now. Hope to get it available as soon as possible. This first implementation will be one to one, so Kimchi will be able to connect to an external server which details will be specified in the config file.
