Show HN: Lightweight tool for managing Linux virtual machines(github.com)
hey guys. the other day i was migrating hosting providers and i just needed something not too heavy and convenient to spin up my backups for awhile and realised there is almost nothing out there. kimchi hasn't been updated for years and cockpit is heavy. so here's something i came up with in a couple hours because of a sudden urge, nothing fancy just basic creation with cloud init, lifecycle management and image/storage, but it's modern-ish and it compiles to a 8.4mb binary inclusive of the embedded web UI, CLI and API, and only dep is libvirt.

If you use Ubuntu or Debian, multipass is pretty easy to use.

Otherwise QuickGet / QuickEmu

Does it support scheduling of snapshots and keeping N versions of snapshots?
