The only things I'd suggest to be more "arch-like" is replacing supervisord with systemd, and making a PKGBUILD + pushing it to AUR to simplify some of the setup. 👍

The guide is a bit outdated now (there's no need to uncomment the libvirt line in requirements anymore). It also never tells you that you need to copy the settings.py (cp webvirtcloud/settings.py.template webvirtcloud/settings.py) file. You also copy the nginx config right inside the sites-enabled folder, when the way it's set up should be - copy to sites-available and then symlink active virtualhosts in sites-available.

You also forgot to mention that you need dsnmasq and ebtables for network management and that you need to add the http user to the libvirt (or was it kvm) group.

Also, since the gstfsd is in the repo as well, there's no real reason to download it seperately to update it. Just git pull and copy the new gstfsd script.

Still, I suppose it's a start.
