TestbedOS Server

TestbedOS Server is a server that runs in the background as a daemon to keep state of the testbed deployments. It offers a REST API to control the testbed. This API is used by the kvm-compose CLI tool and for the web interface.

The server is solely a wrapper around the kvm-compose library, which can be invoked without the server - see the kvm-compose usage document. Note that when not using the server you lose the ability to deal with deployments and just work from the current project folder.

The objective of the server is to keep track of state in the testbed, this means tracking any existing deployments if you have multiple and check to see the up/down state. The server also allows inspecting and modifying the configuration of the kvm-compose-config through the API.
