Comment on New home server: what hypervisor/OS?
peregus@lemmy.world 7 months agoOut of curiosity, why move from OMV? I was thinking about trying it out for a second NAS.
It’s probably a problem of not dedicating enough time to learn how it works, but I’ve installed a couple of time in the past years, but…I don’t like it much. It seems complicated to me (still, I probably don’t dedicate it enough time).
For the NAS OS, I use and recommend TrueNAS Scale. You can run Docker containers on it
I’ll check it, thanks

Your reason to move from OMV is the same as mine for XCP-ng. It is supposed to be a better hypervisor, but I just did not like the UI at all. It doesn’t help that you have to host a small VM just to have a webGUI.

I had to build that small VM from source on a different machine because my XCP-ng install was refusing to set it up. Then I was able to move it over to the XCP-ng machine to self host.
I liked the UI and honestly I like the VM that keeps the web app separate from the hypervisor. But then it started looking like a massive pain to hotplug USB devices to the VMs, so I bounced.
I am trying Incus/LXD right now and enjoying it so far.
