vms/ directory. Each VM is represented by a single .json file that holds its identity, hardware allocation, network interfaces, and storage configuration. You interact with VMs entirely through the interactive CLI menu, which provides options for creating, deleting, renaming, and monitoring your machines.
How VMs are stored
Every VM corresponds to a file atvms/<vmname>.json. The vms/ directory is created automatically the first time you create a VM. File names map directly to VM names, so a VM named my-server lives at vms/my-server.json.
VM names cannot contain
/, \, or . characters. These restrictions prevent path traversal and file-system conflicts.Current capabilities
The following actions are available in the current release:| CLI option | Action |
|---|---|
| 5 | View VM resource allocation |
| 6 | View VM running status |
| 7 | View both status and resources |
| 8 | Create a VM |
| 9 | Delete a VM |
| 10 | Manage a VM (rename, and more) |
What is not yet implemented
The Start, Stop, and Restart actions are present in the manage VM submenu (options 1, 2, and 3) but are currently empty stubs. Selecting them has no effect. These will be wired up to a hypervisor backend in a future release.Pages in this section
VM config format
Learn the JSON schema that defines each VM’s hardware and network settings.
VM actions
Create, delete, and rename VMs using the CLI menu.
VM Watcher
Monitor running status and resource allocation for your VMs.
Future versions of Stratosphere Core will integrate with a hypervisor to support live start/stop/restart operations, real-time resource metrics, and multi-VM monitoring by ID.
