Disclaimer: This is far from functional, but feel free to contribute! Also, I'm a huge beginner in Rust

This is meant to be an applet for libvirt. You should see a list of your virtual machines using libvirt.

How to install:

git clone https://github.com/natperron/virt-applet
cargo build --release
cd target/release
chmod +x ./virt-applet

If you want to add it to your PATH:

sudo mv ./target/release/virt-applet /usr/local/bin

Finally, how to run:

./virt-applet
# Or better, if you have it in your PATH
virt-applet

TODO:

• Make a function to start a selected VM
• Make a function to stop a selected VM
• Improve code splitting
• Add a list of dependencies people need on their distro in order to run it on their machine (without needing cargo)
• Add github actions to build packages (.deb, .rpm, AUR) automatically
• Use a config file:
  • Setup pre/post scripts to run when starting/stopping a VM
  • Change the connection
  • Probably accomodate for a bunch of stuff I didn't think
