Key Features

Zero X11 Dependency: Full control via terminal, eliminating the need for graphical environments.
Multi-Server Transhypervisor View: Visualize and manage VMs across multiple hypervisors from a unified interface.
Low-Bandwidth Remote Operations: Efficient remote administration ideal for cloud and edge environments.
Color-Coded Status & Server Identification: Use intuitive color schemes to indicate VM status and server origins for quick identification.

Host Resource Management: Manage not just VMs, but also the underlying server resources like Storage Pools and Virtual Networks.
Embedded Virsh Shell: Instantly access a `virsh` shell for any managed server directly within the application for advanced commands.
Websockify SSH & noVNC Integration: Enable secure SSH and noVNC remote viewing for headless server environments.
Move Storage Volume: Move storage volumes between different pools, updating VM guest config if needed.

Scalable VM Management: Manage hundreds of VMs across multiple libvirt servers with a single, consistent interface.
Live Performance Monitoring: View real-time CPU and memory usage with sparkline graphs on each VM card.
In-Depth Hardware Configuration: Control virtually all aspects of a VM's hardware, from CPU and memory to UEFI, Secure Boot, TPM, and boot order.
Full Snapshot Management: Easily create, delete, and revert to VM snapshots through the interface.
Advanced VM Resource Control: Disable disks, switch machine types, etc..
VM Migration: Migrate VMs offline and live between servers, with pre-checks on server and VM guest config.
Clone VM Capabilities: Clone VMs with advanced options, including specifying a custom suffix, cloning multiple instances at once, and automatic creation of storage for the new clones.
Bulk Command Execution: Execute commands across multiple selected VMs simultaneously for streamlined management.
Spice to VNC Transition: Automatically replace Spice graphics with VNC for simplified remote access and reduced resource usage.

Multi-server Management: Connect to and manage multiple libvirt servers simultaneously from a single shell.
Bulk VM Operations: Execute commands like start, stop, and status on multiple VMs across different servers at once.
Advanced VM Selection: Select VMs for operations using direct names or regular expression patterns.
Storage Management: List storage pools and unused volumes across all connected servers.
Tab Autocompletion: Context-aware autocompletion for server names, VM names, and storage pools.
