Dear all,
I'm actually working to create a custom user interface plugin for oVirt web administration application to let user upload iso files.
I'm in the very first stage of the project. I'm planning to use angularjs with the ng-flow module <https://github.com/flowjs/ng-flow> on the client-side and a java servlet using the ovirt-iso-uploader <http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_engine_tools#ovirt-iso-uploader> engine tool on the server-side.
All my code is going to be on Github in the following repository : iso-uploader-plugin <https://github.com/ovirt-china/iso-uploader-plugin>. You can also check a more detailed version of the specifications on my wiki <https://github.com/ovirt-china/iso-uploader-plugin/wiki/Specifications>.
I'm writing to you guys to know if there is a way for us to collaborate as you may also want to develop something like this to be integrated in the oVirt Engine.
Best regards,

looks very nice.
This is actually very interesting (and requested by multiple folks) but i'd like to see if we should focus on the more simple "upload iso's" or it doing more than just upload ISO's, but also VMs. for the latter, architecture would probably be a servlet[1] on the engine and stream to vdsm to write to storage, so both vm disks and/or iso's could be uploaded/downloaded.
using ssh and/or nfs to send artifacts to hosts is something we should avoid so using iso/image uploader tools are not a solution. vdsm should support uploading images using its own protocol based on the authentication between engine and vdsm, is it already?
nope, we don't
this should be a core feature not an add-on within the current monolithic implementation, as there is no access to vdsm interaction from any of the interfaces.
well, since we have this feature in the plan for a long time and didn't get to it then a UI plugin would be nice. Currently the only way to upload "stuff" is using ovirt-iso-uploader.
indeed "nice", but we cannot introduce anything that is "nice" but insecure. using iso/image uplaoder spawned by servlet cannot be something that is endorsed.
