Hello!

I'm searching for a KVM web frontend.

What I would like:
- web frontend
- easy to use(like vmware vsphere client)
- free
- management tool running on the same system(as part of node or in a VM) (no need to have a dedicated management pc, just like vmware with vsphere client)
- ability to set up a cluster in case I ever need it
- support for templates

I've tried WebVirtMgr, but it somehow didn't stick. Also there is no option for cluster management.
I also tried Proxmox. It worked great, but cluster solution is not the best and it need minimum 3 nodes in a cluster to work and I don't plan to have that many (2 max).

I had a look at some other options:
- oVirt
- OpenNode
- OpenQRM
- Eucalyptus
- Archipel

Anyone have any experience with either of them?

On a quick look, I like Archipel and Eucalyptus. The down side is that they all need a management host. Can they be virtualized on the nodes?

This will be used at home for simple virtualization of multiple servers (crashplan, web, sql, firewall, testing enviroment...).

What do you use?
Pros?
Cons?
