Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtcloud/issues/23

Couple of notes:
The section for
cd ..
sudo mv webvirtcloud /srv
should be moved up since where you have it will set the wrong path in venv/bin/gunicorn (it sets it to /root/webvirtcloud).
You also need to add www-data to the proper groups.
So the guide should be:

sudo apt-get -y install git python-virtualenv python-dev \
libxml2-dev libvirt-dev zlib1g-dev nginx supervisor
sudo mkdir /srv && cd /srv
git clone https://github.com/retspen/webvirtcloud && cd webvirtcloud
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r conf/requirements.txt
python manage.py migrate
sudo cp conf/supervisor/webvirtcloud.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d
sudo cp conf/nginx/webvirtcloud.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/webvirtcloud

Restart services

sudo service nginx restart
sudo service supervisor restart

Install

wget -O - https://clck.ru/9V9fH | sudo sh

Add users to proper groups

(this is missing in your instructions)
sudo adduser www-data libvirtd
sudo adduser www-data kvm

note you may also want to add yourself, like so:

sudo adduser id -un libvirtd
sudo adduser id -un kvm

Update gstfsd

(I wasn't sure if this step was needed but it didn't hurt either)
wget -O - https://clck.ru/9VMRH | sudo tee -a /usr/local/bin/gstfsd
sudo service supervisor restart

Make sure it's working

If not, check /var/log/supervisor/*.log

/srv/webvirtcloud# supervisorctl status
gstfsd RUNNING pid 17346, uptime 0:00:05
novncd RUNNING pid 17345, uptime 0:00:05
webvirtcloud RUNNING pid 17344, uptime 0:00:05
