Remote Virtual Desktops Manager

Ravada is an open-source project that provides a web-based user interface for managing and accessing virtual machines (VMs) based on the QEMU/KVM virtualization technology. Ravada aims to simplify the management of virtual machines by offering a user-friendly interface accessible through a web browser.Ravada is meant for sysadmins who have some background in GNU/Linux, and want to deploy a VDI project.

Users can use Ravada to create, configure, and manage virtual machines without the need for a dedicated desktop client. It provides features such as remote console access, snapshot management, and the ability to manage multiple VMs from a central interface. Ravada's back-end has been designed and implemented in order to allow future hypervisors to be added to the framework.

The client only requirements are: a web-browser and a remote viewer supporting the spice protocol.

In the current release we use the KVM Hypervisors: KVM as the backend for the Virtual Machines.
