Stratosphere Core is the foundation of the Stratosphere virtualization platform — a Proxmox-inspired virtual environment manager built in Go. It provides real-time CPU and RAM monitoring, full VM lifecycle management, and a modular architecture designed to grow into a full GUI-driven hypervisor platform.Documentation Index

What Stratosphere does
Stratosphere Core is an early-stage, actively developed virtualization management layer. Right now it provides:- System watchers — Continuous polling of CPU and RAM usage via gopsutil, with user-configurable polling rates
- VM lifecycle management — Create, delete, rename, and manage virtual machines stored as JSON config files
- Interactive CLI — A menu-driven terminal interface covering all watcher and VM operations
Stratosphere is under active development. Hypervisor integration (QEMU and others) is planned for future releases. See the Roadmap for what’s coming.
