This past week I have started working with webvirtmgr (http://webvirtmgr.net/) that allows to create and manage VMs based on kvm using libvirt python bindings. I created a host server and several guest VMs with Linux Mint installed on them.

Next step I did was to remotely connect to web server's admin panel so that I can manage VMs from any machine in the Internet. After that I wanted to access VMs from one of the virtual machines. However, I have not succeeded yet. I am experiencing some problem with Internet connection inside VM.

I am intending to solve this by more in-depth examination of networking with virtualization. I assume this will take me a day or two to solve.

Once I solve this, I would like to install one of the remote lab management tools examined by our interns (iTalc or Epoptes) on VMs and try to see if that works.

So, the rough road map would be:

Solve networking issue in VMs
Install iTalk or Epoptes on VMs and see if they work as intended
Currently, webvirtmgr has only admin panel, so I intend to create non-admin users. These users will login via web interface and access their VMs.
