A few suggestions in order to improve your project:
List all features of your script kit in the website. It is almost 0 sense of what does it do. I had to sift throw documentation, screenshots, github to get a grasp. This is bad UX.
OS support should be clearly stated, as well as other package requirements (sqlite etc.).
Sorry whale baby, but your project requires a lot of refinement. Good luck, I wish you to be stubborn and creative. Do not afraid of AI, it is pretty impressive what you can do with little synthetic help.

yo thanks for the suggestions! wanna tell u that the new version will be dark mode only for now so that's kinda fixed. but i think i gotta ask @babywhale for the answer to the questions 1, 3 and 4 cuz i don't work on the bashvm codebase! atleast not right now

Yeahhhh i know the website layout needs to be better, the program does allot so its hard to add everything it can do so i added screenshots to the website to hopefully show what it is capable of. and im the one who supervised the code lol just me lol
The hard coded url's for iso images can be fixed with regex / educated guesses but i might just want to create my own repo for the iso images.
The installer includes everything you need so yes i should clarify that everything you need is all taken care of by running the installer.

As a user I want to know what the installer needs before running it. I'm not gonna execute something on my servers unless I know what it's going to do. Yes, I could go trough the code but I should not have to do that, the dependencies should be clearly listed on the website.
I took a quick look at the website to find out if it used KVM or containers or something else, but I couldn't find any information at all so I just walked away.

Well, take it as constructive criticism. If you don't know, ask someone who knows.
The way things like this usually works is that people with the technical knowledge write the documentation, and the guy that builds the website publish it.
I love the design of the website by the way. Looks really good, easy to navigate, no fuzz. Just get the information needed on there and it will be great!

Yes i do agree that i should have whats needed and what the installer will do before running it. This is a passion project of mine and i'm not charging anything to use it so i work on it when i can.
You should ALWAYS verify and look at the code yourself before running anything from a public repo like github, no matter the reputation of the project and what it says its going to do.
yes it uses KVM :P id like to add something like LXC / LXD in the future but we will see
