Is this in a repo somewhere we can have a look?
Comment on How many containers are you all running?
smiletolerantly@awful.systems 2 days ago
Zero.
About 35 VMs though, each running either a si gle service (e.g. Paperless) or a suite (Sonarr and so on plus NZBGet, VPN,…).
There’s additionally a couple of client VMs. All of those distribute over 3 proxmox hosts.
SSL and WireGuard are terminated at a physical firewall box running OpnSense, so with very few exceptions, the VMs do not handle any complicated network setup.

On an average day, I spend 0 minutes managing the homelab.
0 is the goal. Well done !

Why VMs instead of contsiners? Seems like way more processing overhead.

Eh… Not really. Qemu does a really good job with VM virtualizarion.
I believe I could easily build containers instead of VMs from the nix config, but I actually do like having a full VM: since it’s running a full OS instead of an app, all the usual nix tooling just works on it.
Also: In my day job, I actually have to deal quite a bit with containers (and kubernetes), and I just… don’t like it.

Yeah, just wondered because containers just hook into the kernal in a way that doesn’t have overhead. Where as a VM has to emulate the entire OS. But hey I get it, fixing stuff inside the container can be a pain
