Hello oVirt maintainers,
My name is Jeong Haneul, and I'm an infrastructure engineer from South
Korea.
First, I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to oVirt over the
years. I still provides virtualization solutions based on oVirt Engine, and
we've relied on the project for a long time.
As upstream development has slowed, I started a personal modernization
project to address some of the platform's technical debt.
So far, I've completed the following work:
- Replaced the legacy GWT WebAdmin with a React-based frontend.
- Completely removed the GWT frontend and the GWT-RPC communication
layer.
- Migrated client-server communication to REST APIs.
- Upgraded the platform to Jakarta EE 11, WildFly 40, Java 21, and
PostgreSQL 16.
- Applied numerous security and dependency updates.
The project is still being validated, but most of the functionality is
already working.
I would like to know whether there is still active interest in modernizing
oVirt Engine. If so, I'd be happy to discuss the project, share my
experience, and explore whether any part of this work could be useful for
the community.
Please note that I'm not a professional software developer—I'm an
infrastructure engineer—and I'm communicating in English using a
translator. I appreciate your understanding.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Jeong Haneul
