Email supportA self-hosted, bare-metal virtualization platform delivered as bootable appliance images. It turns ordinary servers into a managed cluster of KVM/QEMU hypervisors with shared storage, high availability and a single web console — with no external control plane and no general-purpose shell to secure.
At least one physical server for a hypervisor host and one machine for the SimpleVirt-Command controller. High availability requires shared storage — either NFSv4.1 or SimpleVirt HCI built from the hosts' own disks. See the installation guide for specifics.
The installer images are free to download and install on your own hardware. See Licensing for the open-source licenses and third-party notices, and Subscriptions for what a subscription is — and, importantly, what it does not gate.
SimpleVirt runs KVM/QEMU guests with VNC consoles for every guest and serial consoles for Linux. Review Known limitations for the current guest support details before you plan a deployment.
As signed, image-based updates for both hosts and the controller, applied from the console. The controller also supports backup and restore. See Operations.
Eight capabilities ship built-in but off by default in v1.0.0, and are not supported for production in this release. A controller enables one by name in its configuration. See Experimental features.
