• Best virtualization solution with Ubuntu 22.04

  Which is what docker/podman/containerd use. If you want full system emulation look into LXC/LXD. Source: 11 months ago

• Opinions on linux? I wanna hear yalls opinion on it, because you can do some cool shit with it, heres my own rice for a basic idea of what random shit you can do w/ it

  LXD is a manager for Linux Containers (LXC), which lets me spin up a kind-of lightweight VM for any distro, instantly. I use it to run proprietary software isolated from the rest of my system (such as Steam); disposable environments for trying stuff out, and running software that doesn't jive well with Nixos.

• Error: Failed to connect to local LXD: Get "http://unix.socket/1.0": dial unix /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket: connect: no such file or directory

  Check this thread on linuxcontainers LXD forum. Half way down Simos points to the eventual solution:. Source: 12 months ago

• Virtualisating my server

  I found this website https://linuxcontainers.org/ and I am going to test that out for server just to see how it works. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any good (and up to date) book about LXC/LXC

  Up to now the best documentation I have come across is the official one at linuxcontainers.org. Source: about 1 year ago

• VMware Kills Off 56 Products

  Proxmox [1] will see a boost in popularity, good. I'm using the free version in combination with the backup server on both small (several RasPi 4's spread over several countres running the 'PiMox' [2] port) as well as medium (DL380) sized systems and find it to be a stable as well as practical platform.

• Deadbolt & QVPN (OpenVPN)

  Have a look at Proxmox if you decide on running containers and have any old hardware laying around. Source: about 1 year ago

• A little help with table structure?

  Hey everyone! I'm making a server management panel with Laravel using Proxmox (https://proxmox.com/en/) as the API for directly managing the virtual machines. Source: over 1 year ago

• Home ESXI server maybe?

  Proxmox or XCP-NG might be better if you're going to be using consumer level parts. XCP-NG is pretty much CentOS7 with the Xen hypervisor so it has a pretty broad range of device drivers. Source: over 2 years ago

• Dual OS booting

  Okay, yes, that is possible. There quite a few youtube videos showing the basic principle, most of them use the OS Proxmox as the hypervisor (and storage manager). Here's an example of a video with a very large system, but this can be scaled down a lot. Source: over 2 years ago
