Qemulator is a free solution for easy setup and management of emulation jobs under linux with the free virtual engine emulator qemu

Introducion

Qemulator is a full featured emulation suite for the qemu virtual engine, with on demand job control. Qemulator provides an easy and fast to use image and device management, a "My machines" list and interactive job control.

It comes with a list of all running jobs from where you can open the contol panel for each job and performing on demand action. Full interaction for mounted volumes, usb devices, keyboard and mouse interaction, screenshots, wave capture and save/restore machine state and open vnc viewer is provided.

The project is still under development. Current version should run stable on most Linux machines providing allmost all functions of qemu, but there are still some works to do.

Qemulator is written in python/gtk/glade2 so you need these libraries to be installed to run Qemulator. For a first glimpse see the guided tour, for details see screenshots and Documentation.

"Just started using qemulator and I have to tell you, that this is just what I was looking for. Eventually I found something that makes qemu as user-friendly as the VMWare Player... so: GREAT WORK! Go on like this... Qemulator rulez!"

Goal of the project is to provide all options of qemu on an easy to use surface, combined with a comfortable job management. Most main tasks are done for now. See roadmap for details.
