What is Arclight's Goal?

[Gorian]

This project is really neat, but there's two different solutions for managing KVM, and it's not clear which category this project falls into too. One of them is exactly what I'm looking for, and one I'm avoiding.

1. An appliance-style interface that completely takes over the OS and modifies it, with your application existing per-server. This would be something like proxmox.
2. An application that can exist anywhere, including a VM, possibly manually deployed on top of host it manages, which uses APIs like libvirt, in order to manage servers. This would be something more like Cockpit I think.

I'm looking for option 2, and it's not clear which this is.

@Gorian It's similar to option 2, but focused more on GPU-based instances and optimised virtual/Bare-metal (Nested) provisioning. Instead of modifying the host OS, the application uses module scripts to modify changes.

I would recommend you, please wait for the upcoming version (with Windows 11 and deploy on cloud support) or try v1.0.0 because there are many issues raised on complex post-installation procedures that we are working on it.
