xen-tools like web interface for virtualbox

Hi,

I'd like to start a web-based management system for virtualbox.  Seeking
comments on anything important to consider like licensing issues, and
technical structure issues.  Any features you think would be useful are
welcome discussion as well.

Thanks,

You should have a look at vboxweb [1] which is probably what you are
searching for. I've created a port [2] for it if you want to test it on
FreeBSD.

yes  http://libvirt.org is the way to go. that way it will work when
Xen Dom0 support is added as well

Thanks for the info, I have no need to reinvent the wheel.  I think I'll try
and add some automated iscsi support in there and it should be close to what
I was thinking.

Thank you very much for this! I upgraded your port to release 89:
http://www.frbsd.org/dist/vboxweb-r89.port.tar.bz2

A few questions/suggestions:
- at first launch, vboxweb downloads the rdpweb.swf component which is under a PUEL licence. Are there any free alternatives that you know of, apart from disabling the relevant lines in the sourcecode in order to remain fully open source?
- for those who don't like the initial connection to google.com, here's a quick&dirty patch:
http://www.frbsd.org/dist/vboxweb-r89.patch-aa
- and finally why don't you commit your port to the ports tree?

Best regards,

Hubert

I've seen that there is r91 so updated it again. Thanks for noticing it.

No i don't know any alternative. Our FreeBSD vbox port does not have the
rdp code either so it's kinda useless on FreeBSD anyway.

Did not know that but it looks like they are using it for determining the
machine ip. There are probably better ways to do that so it could be best
to create an issue for that.

Because it's not useful for anything at the moment. So i think it would
create more questions than it solves. But once it does something useful i
will commit it to the tree.
