virtigo: a control panel for your virtual machine cluster

There is no greater thrill for a linux sys admin than running your own cloud.

This is an attempt to make something that should:

Maintain the master list of virtual machines that should be running at all times
Work with a cluster of dom0 hypervisiors via libvirt and/or qemu
Understand the cluster and autostart droplets that have failed
Initiate and Handle all droplet events: start, stop, clone, migrate, etc
Verify consistancy on the hypervisors
Initiate and handle live migrations between hypervisors
Talk to the hypervisors using only the virtigo daemon via protobuf
Work in GUI mode (GTK/QT/etc) but ALSO the console (ncurses)
GPL'd with the intent for use with homelab and personal hobbyists

Be super easy to use.
Automatically map access to serial and graphical consoles
Only temporarily generate libvirt XML files for virsh create
This is intended for managing Virtual Machines, not for containers
This often uses the DO nomenclature 'droplets' instead of 'virtual machines' or 'domU'
Every droplet is considered hostile
When possible, use protobuf
Let security be handled externally at the socket layer with other tools
Put network, cpu, etc stats in external tools
Automatic live migration to decommission nodes
Implement iptable rules via the virtigo daemon
