I was under the impression that this was just a front-end for virsh and not a full installation from the ground up. I ran this on my Ubuntu Webserver and it wouldn't work (because libvirt wasn't running) after some investigation I realized nginx was just a reverse proxy pointing to port 8000 on the localhost, since I have nginx already installed for my reverse proxies that should be easy to migrate. I found in the libvirt docs that port 8000 is the config port for xen-http. I opened an unsecured TCP connection to my KVM hypervisor and pointed the reverse proxy to it but it wouldn't connect.

What config changes do I need to make to my existing libvirt install to get this to work correctly?

Nevermind, I looked at the code more and saw that it works with existing installations.
