Deleting or detaching a disk, deleting a network card, forcing a VM off,
reverting or deleting a snapshot, stopping or deleting a pool, a
network, an interface, a filter or a secret, and the other actions that
ask first opened the browser's yes/no box (confirm()), and the ISO
upload told its mistakes in the browser's alert().
One dialog in the base page now asks for all of them: its title and
confirming button carry the button's own words, its body the button's
question, the confirming button red for a destructive action. Confirmed,
the button is clicked again, so its form sends what it did before. A
button inside another dialog (the flavors) hides that one while asking
and shows it again after; Cancel gives the focus back, and the
confirming button acts once. The ISO upload's mistakes show in its
dialog's error box, announced.
The host pages' dialogs (new network, fixed address, DHCP range,
bandwidth limit, new interface, new filter, filter rule, filter clone,
new storage pool, new secret, a secret's value) and the VM page's XML
review closed with a grey filled Cancel beside their action; the
redone dialogs use an outlined Cancel, so the action is the one filled
button.
The label and value rows of the host pages' cards (Overview, storage
pools, networks, interfaces) take Bootstrap's py-1 instead of the list
group's own padding, as the interface list's cards already do: about
half the height a row, the same on every page. A pool's space bar keeps
its padding.
As the storage and network pages; plan reviewed with Codex.
- The list is grouped by type (bridges, bonds, VLANs, ethernet; a type
the host has none of is left out), three cards a row, with a search
of their names, MACs and networks (table_filter.js, which now takes
any element with data-search as a row); a card per interface: its link
as the kernel reports it (up green, down grey, another state or
unknown told as such, no red card for a link that is merely down),
MAC, MTU, speed when known, the members it reports and the libvirt
networks that use it, linked.
- An interface's page: an Interface card (type, libvirt's own state
where it manages interfaces, link, start mode, MAC, MTU, speed, STP,
networks using it); on a host whose libvirt changes interfaces, a
card per family with how it is addressed and its addresses; the
members of a bridge, bond or VLAN with their link and speed, or that
none is reported; for a bridge, the running VMs' cards on it,
directly or through a network using it, with their tap and MAC,
linked (wvmInterface.get_vms: one domain listing). Not the bridge's
delay: netcf tells it in seconds, the udev backend in hundredths.
Start or Stop in its heading, Delete in its menu, disabled while it
runs, on hosts that can change interfaces only.
- A host whose libvirt only reads interfaces says so once, with that
it does not tell their addresses, instead of "None" on every page.
- The New interface dialog is one form, as the New pool and New
network ones (choice_dialog.js, radio_card.html): Bridge or
Ethernet, a bridge's member from the devices it can take, an
ethernet interface's device from the ones the host does not define
yet, a static address's fields with its choice; a refused interface,
or one libvirt refuses, opens it again with what was entered; a made
one opens its page.
- networks_by_device maps the libvirt networks to their bridges or
interfaces on the page's own connection.
Plan reviewed with Codex; tried on a udev host (AlmaLinux 10) and a
netcf one (AlmaLinux 8).
- Changes are one change of the host's configuration (libvirt's
interface change transaction): a bridge that does not start used to
be undefined, leaving its member without the addresses and start
mode the bridge took from it; now the whole change rolls back, the
member's own configuration too, and so does a commit libvirt refuses.
A rollback that fails too is reported with the failure, saying the
host's configuration may be changed.
Deleting a bridge, which defines its
members again on their own, is one change as well.
- A running interface is not deleted: the page hid Delete, but a post
deleted it. A bridge with addresses and several members is refused
(which member takes the addresses is the user's choice); the
confirmation says that its members are defined again.
- A bridge takes only a device in no bridge, bond or VLAN as the host
has them configured, at any depth (a bridge's bond's devices), not
the loopback, a libvirt network's bridge or a VM's tap; an ethernet
interface configures only such a device too.
- Whether the host can change interfaces: unsupported or refused by
its access rules is a no, bad XML a yes, anything else (the
connection, the login) is raised instead of taken for a yes. A page
whose host could not be read offers no actions.
- Reads: the list reads each interface's XML once from one listing
(listAllInterfaces: every state, not the active and the defined ones
apart); a page reads the running and the saved definition once each
(cached_property). netcf writes a link speed of -1 for a card that
has none (a virtio one) and then refuses its own XML: the saved one
is read instead, where virsh and the page failed. Name and MAC come
from libvirt's object, without a call. Each family says how it is
addressed (DHCP, autoconf, static or none) and every address, its
prefix where it has one; no
address is not "DHCP" any more. A bridge's members carry their link
state and speed; an unknown speed (0, -1, 4294967295) is none.
- The interface API lists from the same reader. get_details,
get_bridge, get_bridge_slave_ifaces and the per-family getters go.
webvirtcloud.css still carried the upstream panel's rules for what
Bootstrap 5.3 has as utilities and components:
- the page's bottom space (body padding) is pb-5 on base.html's body,
and the console page no longer has to undo it;
- the VM page's action tabs (.action-button, .action-block with a
fixed 65px width) are text-center with a d-block icon; its tab panes
(#power ... #undefine, one rule each) mt-3;
- the bordered sub-tab panes (.tab-pane-bordered, a fixed #eee border
that dark themes could not change) border border-top-0 p-3;
- the search box and header buttons (.search, .btn-header) m-1 and
mt-1; the SSH key select (.keyselect) a form-select;
- the boot order list (.multipleselect, fixed size, #c0c0c0 border) a
list-group of form-check-input items; its unused .multipleselect-on
goes;
- table cells centred by a global rule are align-middle on each table.
Two rules against Bootstrap's behaviour go: menus opened on hover on
wide screens (Bootstrap opens them on a click, and keyboard and touch
users had no hover), and "a { outline: 0 }", which hid the keyboard
focus ring.
The paragraph and page-header margins and the 900px container stay
for a separate change: they set every page's layout.
Eleven host pages (overview, instances, storages, networks, interfaces,
nwfilters, secrets and their item pages) each carried their own copy of
the links to the host's sections, as a breadcrumb: the sections are
siblings, not a path, and on a phone the separators were left at the
start of wrapped lines. The item pages marked no section at all.
computes/host_nav.html is the one nav, labelled "Host sections": pills
that wrap, the page's section marked active, with aria-current="page"
on the section's own page and "true" on an item of it.
- The create form refuses a name the host already defines. Defining it
again replaced that interface's configuration, for example the host's
own uplink when a bridge was named after it.
- An interface that does not start is undefined again, so the name is
free for another try; the name check above makes this safe.
The Logs page now records every change an admin makes to a compute's
libvirt objects, with the compute's name in the host column:
- networks: add, start, stop, delete, autostart, DHCP range, fixed
addresses, QoS and XML edits;
- storage pools: add, start, stop, delete, autostart, from web and
API; volumes: add and delete (web and API), clone and ISO upload;
- host interfaces: add, start, stop, delete;
- secrets: add, set value (never the value), delete;
- network filters: add, clone, delete, XML edits, rules and
references.
A refused or failed change is a failed row with its reason (libvirt
text through safe_text). The volume clone and upload jobs write their
row when they end; a refused submission is a failed row at once. A
volume row names the volume libvirt created (a dir pool adds .qcow2 or
.img). Volume create or delete through the API on an inactive pool
(409) is a failed row.
Network filters: the rows read "Network filter f1: add" instead of
"f1 network filter is created", and their host is the compute's name
instead of its hostname. A duplicate name or UUID no longer raises a
bare exception, and a filter XML that cannot be parsed no longer ends
in UnboundLocalError.
Twenty-five prompts asked only "Are you sure?", and on the storage page
one handler asked the same before every button, Start and Enable
included. Each destructive button now names its object and says what
happens: a stopped network cuts running VMs off, a deleted pool keeps
its files, a deleted volume loses its data, a reverted snapshot loses
the changes made since. Saves no longer ask, and disabled buttons lose
prompts they could not show. The VM QoS messages said to restart the
network where the VM has to be powered off and on.

Column offsets without a breakpoint applied below it, where the column
is already full width, so the change password, compute, user, VM
create and VM settings forms ran past the right edge on a phone. Each
offset now starts at its column's breakpoint. The interface and network
detail lists were rows directly inside rows and sit in a column now;
the compute form loses a Bootstrap 3 thumbnail padding that broke its
gutters, and the add-rule dialog's hint is no longer cut off. The page
test checks both grid rules on every page.

Twenty tables had no .table-responsive wrapper, so on a phone the user
list, compute list, VM lists, network and network filter pages scrolled
sideways as a whole. Each table now scrolls inside its box, as the
other ten already did. The page test walks the network page too, and
checks that every table on every page has the wrapper.

The pool, network and interface cards had a solid green or red header
with light text, and status words (Connected, ON, OFF, the DRBD state)
were in the theme's green or red text colour. axe found them below the
WCAG AA 4.5:1 contrast on the live theme (4.29:1, 3.52:1), on the
default zephyr theme, whose green is light (2.5:1), and on dark themes
(darkly 1.18:1).
The card headers, and the status words as badges, are now the theme's
pale status background with its dark status text (bg-*-subtle with
text-*-emphasis). Bootstrap derives the pair from each theme's palette,
and it does not depend on the page's background: the dark Bootswatch
themes keep light-mode emphasis colours, which on their own would be
dark text on a dark page. The card border keeps the status colour.
An accessibility scan with every modal opened found 49 fields without a
name: the labels of the instance create forms (custom, template and each
flavor's modal), the interface, network, secret and storage pool modals
did not point at their fields. Each label now has a for= and its field an
id, prefixed per form (and per flavor), so a click on the label focuses
the field too. The "Advanced" collapse buttons and the memory and
processing bars are named.
The VCPU config select had id="vcpu_mode" in each of these forms, nine
times on the create page; the unique-ID test did not see it as the test
driver reports no CPU modes. The id goes (nothing used it), and the test
now renders that branch.
An accessibility scan (axe-core, WCAG 2 A/AA) of every page found 87
elements without a name. Icon-only buttons and links (the navbar's
administration menu on every page, the add/create buttons, the flavor
delete and back buttons) get a title, which is also their tooltip; the
labels of the language, architecture, chipset and filter selects point
at them; the memory bar is named. The shared delete confirmation page
had an empty <title> and heading, as no view passes "title": it says
"Delete <object>". The power-off form's aria-label was misspelled.
Rendered through every URL on libvirt's test driver, the pages had
duplicate IDs and markup browsers repaired silently:
- Each flavor modal's "Advanced" button toggled #flav-add-collapse, the
first modal's section; every modal now has its own. The flavor and
template copies of the custom tab's control IDs, and the template
tab's unused images input, are gone.
- The VM page's action icons and the XML editors were styled by
repeated IDs; they use classes.
- Modal forms opened inside modal-body and closed after modal-footer;
they wrap both. Stray end tags and duplicate attributes are removed,
paragraphs no longer hold modals or rows, table heads have a row, and
the create page closes its row and column.
- html lang is the active language instead of "en".
A test walks every URL as a superuser and fails on a repeated ID. The
console page still has no doctype: its full-height layout relies on
quirks mode and needs its own check.
With the netcf backend (RHEL/AlmaLinux 8), undefining a bridge also
removes its members' configuration: the device came back without any
after a reboot. Like virsh iface-unbridge, each member is now defined
again on its own after the bridge is undefined, with the bridge's start
mode and, when it is the only member, its addresses. A bond keeps its
mode and devices.
Checked on AlmaLinux 8 (libvirt 8.0, netcf): an ethernet and a bond
member get their ifcfg back, and the bond comes up with the address
after a reboot.
131 test modules sat next to the code they test; instances alone had
51 of them beside views.py and utils.py. They move into a
tests/ package per app, and the JavaScript checks into
webvirtcloud/tests/js. Each non-empty tests.py becomes tests/test_views.py;
the empty generated stubs are removed.
Imports of the app's own modules become absolute, paths built from
__file__ go one level up, the live helper is instances.tests.livetest,
and coverage omits */tests/*. The suite discovers the same 960 tests as
before.
libvirt's udev interface backend (RHEL 9 and later, Debian 12) only reads
interfaces, so the create form and the start, stop and delete buttons
only failed there. The pages ask the host with an invalid definition,
which defines nothing: a backend without define refuses it as not
supported. There they show the interface state and a note instead, and
posts change nothing; the host's devices, needed only by the create
form, are not read. Any other answer keeps the pages as they were.
A new bridge always declared its member as type='ethernet'. On a host
with the netcf backend that rewrote the member's configuration: a bond
lost its BONDING_OPTS and a vlan its VLAN=yes. The member is now taken
from the host's own definition of the device (a bond keeps its mode and
devices, a vlan its tag), without the start mode, MTU and addresses that
only a top-level interface has; a device the host does not define stays
ethernet.
The form required a bridge member for an ethernet interface, which does
not use one. When the host's network devices could not be read, the error
was swallowed and every creation failed with "the device is not on this
host"; the page now shows the real error and does not try.
The IPv4 address and gateway were required even for DHCP or no IPv4, so
such an interface could not be created; malformed addresses passed and a
missing prefix crashed the XML builder. They are validated like the IPv6
fields now (netmask notation accepted, IPv6 scope ids rejected), and a
static address without a gateway gets no empty route. Interface names
follow the Linux rule (up to 15 letters, digits, . _ -). A bridge member,
or the device an ethernet interface configures, must be a device of the
host (the page no longer falls back to made-up names), a bridge cannot
contain itself, and needs STP and a non-negative delay.
The form checked both with re.match("^[0-9a-f./:]+|^$"), which tests
only how a value starts: "2001:db8::10/64'/><evil/>" passed and went
into the interface XML, which is built with f-strings, while upper-case
hex was refused. An address without a prefix passed too and then failed
with a ValueError when the XML was built.
The address is parsed with ipaddress.IPv6Interface and stored as
address/prefix (/128 when none is given), the gateway with
IPv6Address. A static configuration needs an address, and the XML gets
a route only when a gateway is given instead of gateway=''. The HTML
patterns accept upper-case hex.
Eight of the ten form and XML checks fail on the previous code.
Super-linter ran from the unpinned :latest image and, because of
branches-ignore: [master], never on pull requests to master. Ruff now
checks syntax errors and pyflakes rules (E9, F) on every push and PR.
Fixes the existing findings: unused imports and variables, an unused
duplicate import in instances/tests.py, and the star import in
accounts/views.py. settings-dev.py keeps its star import of the base
settings.
- Routers use path converters (use_regex_path=False): computes, instances
and flavors take <int:...> ids, so non-numeric ids get 404 and
drf-spectacular derives the parameter types itself.
- Each method declares what it really returns: detail serializers,
a shared StatusSerializer for status-only replies, no request body for
actions. Instance properties used by the details serializer get return
type hints.
- The create-instance API drops the firmware field. Its only accepted
value was "" (BIOS), which produced an empty, invalid enum, and the
UEFI branch behind it was unreachable. Clients that still send it are
unaffected; DRF ignores unknown fields.
The schema now passes spectacular --validate --fail-on-warn; a test
keeps it that way.
- Computes API: mark password as write_only in ComputeSerializer, restrict ComputeViewSet and architectures to IsAdminUser.
- Instances API: enforce user ownership tenant isolation in InstanceViewSet.list, restrict MigrateViewSet and CreateInstanceViewSet to IsAdminUser, require IsAdminUser for mutating FlavorViewSet.
- Storage, Network, and Interface APIs: restrict StorageViewSet, VolumeViewSet, NetworkViewSet, InterfaceViewSet to IsAdminUser.
- AppSettings & NWFilters: protect appsettings and nwfilter views with @superuser_only (403 Forbidden for non-superusers).
- noVNC Console: sign tokens with TimestampSigner (salt='console.novnc', max_age=600), verify signature and user authorization in novncd with backward-compatible fallback for debug/test mode.
- Accounts: avoid hardcoded default admin password; generate cryptographically secure random password unless ADMIN_PASSWORD is set (preserve 'admin' in test runner).
- gstfsd daemon: bind to 127.0.0.1 by default instead of 0.0.0.0.
- Tests: added comprehensive test coverage for API security, token expiration/rejection, and view permissions (132 tests passing).
