The general unavailability of everything was caused by the system.

We're likely to use it in the future to choose the right provider and plan. However, I would definitely want to see DigitalOcean and Linode here.

"We spend the time and energy searching all over the web for cheaper reservations for you", are you really spending time on searching things manually ? If so, I wouldn't pay anythi…

VirtKick is open source, the code is on GitHub: https://github.com/virtkick

That's indeed extremely funny. I spotted it some time after I wrote the original post, then started writing my auto-trolling reply to self. ;)

I found the reason to visit Stackshare real quick. I just checked today's Analytics of my startup https://www.virtkick.io - 20% visits originates from stackshare, so I now have to …

Leanstack.io was extremely useful for discovering services. Needed best A/B testing tools? I used to go to Leanstack. I don't seem to find any reason to visit Stackshare. I don't r…

You may be surprised that VirtKick wraps WebVirtMgr and uses it as a JSON API for libvirt. :-) This is a temporary solution but does the job - it allowed us to start real quick wit…

I'm sorry but we missed your comment. Just created an issue to track this problem: https://github.com/virtkick/virtkick/issues/65 Please subscribe to the issue so you'll get the up…

Oh, forgot to actually add something there. To give you a better understanding, it'll work the same way as on Heroku.

Cloud Foundry is a self-hosted Heroku. Both are PaaS (but it's you who provide the "P" with the former). VirtKick is a self-hosted DigitalOcean. Both are very simple IaaS (but it's…

Thanks, can't wait!

Frankly, there are two mutually exclusive camps: free software and open source. I myself sympathize with free software (GPL) whereas RushPL with open source (MIT). Selling propriet…

It's not our intention though, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8527999

Exactly right, we value existing tools - that's what makes DO so strong. :)

What one regards as a feature, other regard as misfeatures. If you like virt-manager, then VirtKick isn't really for you. We value a simple UI more than virt-manager, and REST API …

Yep. Our 128 GB hypervisor wasn't enough. We redirected traffic to a static HTML prototype, so - at least - you guys have a chance to see the design and planned features. https://d…

Not at this point. We're focusing on features now. However, installing an alpha is a matter of 4 commands, give it a try: https://github.com/virtkick/virtkick-starter#virtkick-take…

Not at this point (we mount an ISO as CD), but we've got it planned: https://github.com/virtkick/virtkick/issues/6

Thanks for your comment. UI comes first as every user will hit it. API comes next. We planned DigitalOcean-compatible API altogether with a CLI. Looks like we removed this from our…

We don't intend to sell modified proprietary versions. In fact, we planned to re-release it under MIT. Just see on the bottom: "Get excited: (...), MIT..." http://goo.gl/w64Ic5 fro…

Oh, that's relatively easy at the moment. Put your distro in these two files. ISO will be autodownloaded by `virtkick-starter` script, and the distro will appear on VM create scree…
