## What it is
WebVirtMgr is a libvirt-based web interface for managing KVM virtual machines, written in Python/Django. It lets users create and configure domains, adjust resource allocation, and access guests via a VNC graphical console.

## Use cases
- manage kvm virtual machines from a web browser
- create and configure libvirt domains with a gui
- view vnc console of a vm in the browser
- adjust cpu and memory allocation of virtual machines
- self-hosted alternative to virt-manager for remote hosts

## When to choose
- you need a simple web panel for a single KVM/libvirt host
- you want browser-based VNC console access to guests
- you prefer a lightweight Django app over heavier cloud platforms

## When to avoid
- you need user management or multi-tenant features - use the successor WebVirtCloud instead
- you need hypervisors other than KVM
- you require actively maintained software with recent security updates
- you need a license file - the repo lacks one despite README claims

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, web-framework, middleware
- domain: self-hosted, infrastructure-as-code
