Just give it physical servers, and it will run your VMs without you having to think about it, all in just an hour or two of setup time.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is it based on?
|
||||
|
||||
The core node and API daemons, as well as the CLI API client, are written in Python 3 and are fully Free Software (GNU GPL v3). In addition to these, PVC makes use of the following software tools to provide a holistic hyperconverged infrastructure solution:
|
||||
|
||||
* Debian GNU/Linux as the base OS.
|
||||
* Linux KVM, QEMU, and Libvirt for VM management.
|
||||
* Linux `ip`, FRRouting, NFTables, DNSMasq, and PowerDNS for network management.
|
||||
* Ceph for storage management.
|
||||
* Apache Zookeeper for the primary cluster state database.
|
||||
* Patroni PostgreSQL manager for the secondary relation databases (DNS aggregation, Provisioner configuration).
|
||||

|
||||
While PVC's API and internals aren't very screenshot-worthy, here is some example output of the CLI tool.
|
||||
These screenshots show some of the available functionality of the PVC system and CLI as of PVC v0.9.85.
