dotvirt

dotvirt

A web console for KubeVirt, familiar to virtualization admins, that closes the gap between point-and-click VM operation and GitOps. dotvirt edits git repos of KubeVirt manifests and works alongside ArgoCD. Argo stays the only thing that applies state to the cluster; dotvirt is the friendly inventory + editor on top of git and Argo's status.

It is multi-user and multi-tenant as a thin lens that owns nothing: it rides the cluster's own authentication and RBAC, and writes only git — every change lands as a pull request a human (or policy) approves.

How it fits together

  • dotvirt (the app) — the WebUI + API. Reads the cluster, git, and Argo's status; proposes changes as PRs. Owns nothing, holds only a narrow clone/push token.
  • the installer operator (operator/) — provisions a full dotvirt install from a single Dotvirt custom resource: the workload + Route/Ingress, RBAC, the ArgoCD AppProject tier + ApplicationSet, the platform git repo, and (optionally) a self-hosted Forgejo for evaluation. See operator/README.md.

Prerequisites

  • ArgoCD (OpenShift GitOps) and KubeVirt — hard prerequisites the operator never installs; it waits and reports if either is absent.
  • OVN-Kubernetes, NMState, and CDI — soft: they unlock the networking tier and image upload. The install proceeds without them.

dotvirt runs on OpenShift (Route) and vanilla Kubernetes (Ingress) — the operator detects the distribution and renders accordingly.

Install

OLM from the self-hosted catalog: operator/install/README.md (release and dev-branch preview). Plain manifests / Helm on any cluster: make -C operator deploy. See operator/README.md for the Dotvirt resource reference and CONTRIBUTING.md for releasing.
