vm-bgvbot list

The VM is a stack-based architecture with a small, undocumented instruction set. Key components include:

vm-bgvbot appears designed to automate routine VM-related tasks and background verification/guarding workflows—think health checks, incident triage helpers, basic remediation steps, and notification orchestration—packaged as a bot that can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines, chatops, or monitoring systems.

The deployment of vm-bgvbot signifies a shift towards "autonomic computing"—systems that manage themselves with minimal human intervention.

For DevOps teams, the benefits are tangible:

The bot communicates via plain HTTP/2 and WebSockets. There is no need to install proprietary agents on guest VMs. For Windows guests, it uses WinRM; for Linux, it falls back to SSH or QEMU guest agent.

Because VM-BGVBot natively supports incoming webhooks, it integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions). A simple curl command can trigger a test environment deployment:

curl -X POST http://vm-bgvbot.local:8080/api/vm/provision \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '"template":"ubuntu-22.04","vcpu":4,"ram":8192'

You can define health checks with automatic remediation:

vm-bgvbot config init --output /etc/vm-bgvbot/config.yaml

Edit the configuration file to suit your hypervisor:

# /etc/vm-bgvbot/config.yaml
listener:
  port: 8080
  enable_websocket: true
hypervisors:

scheduler:
enabled: true
jobs:
- name: nightly_snapshot
cron: "0 2 * * *"
action: snapshot_all_vms
webhooks:
secret: "your-strong-secret-key"
