abstract_vmshare

Shared VM workspaces on a libvirt/KVM host, built for co-operative rooms in abstractendeavors.com/chat.

• Masters are read-only disk images, stored once per host (vmshare sync pulls them, resumable).
• Workspaces boot as copy-on-write qcow2 overlays on a master: start in seconds, keep their state between sessions, and reset returns them to the master.
• The VM display is VNC on 127.0.0.1 only; the service bridges it over an authenticated WebSocket (raw RFB, noVNC-compatible) for a trusted front end (the chat server).
