Perfect! I wanted to host my own DO type thing for personal projects and I tried "webvirtmgr" which has a nice control panel for libvirt, but the creator insists that ssh key injection is out of the scope of his project. I'm glad to see this happening!

You may be surprised that VirtKick wraps WebVirtMgr and uses it as a JSON API for libvirt. :-) This is a temporary solution but does the job - it allowed us to start real quick with features that users care about, instead of harnessing libvirt. (Of course, SSH key injection is in a scope of our project! https://github.com/virtkick/virtkick/issues/6)

Ah, I didn't see that before. So without SSH key injection, what's the current primary method of gaining access to VMS created from cloud images that have no password & ssh key? I'm eager to start using it to host a throwaway jenkins server locally. Do you manually edit in ssh key/password or is there some tool to use?
