Roadmap

These are product ideas, not release commitments. See the changelog for release notes.

Available now

BarkVisor supports paired Devices with a shared Home login, VMs on a chosen Device, Docker Compose apps from catalogs, per-Device image Libraries, and Ollama integration.

Create VM starts with a gallery before asking where to run the guest. Linux and Windows guest profiles support arm64 and x86_64. The dashboard shows which Device owns each workload. Each Device keeps running its local workloads when another Device is offline.

Availability and moving workloads

• Restart a workload on another Device after a failure.
• Move a stopped workload between compatible Devices.
• Migrate a running VM between compatible Devices.
• Coordinate failover so a workload cannot accidentally start twice.
• Provide a dedicated Linux appliance image.

Storage and backups

• Share workload storage between Devices.
• Deduplicate Library images by content hash.
• Add more ZFS snapshot and replication support.
• Schedule workload backups, verify them, and restore them as new workloads.
• Export a workload and its data for another Device.

Current database backups cover BarkVisor’s database, not a complete backup of VM disks or App volumes.

Apps, networking, and access

• Make Apps and their data portable between Devices.
• Add update policies and automatic rollback for workloads.
• Add private networking across Devices and friendly service URLs.
• Extend remote-access setup beyond detecting an existing Tailscale installation.
• Suggest workload placement based on energy use.

The product ideas board tracks further proposals.
