Do you work for a railroad? That sounds too familiar.
Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately
kalpol@lemmy.world 4 months agoI need full on segregated machines sometimes though. I’ve got stuff that only runs in Win98 or XP (old radio programming software).

Lol no, just old radios. My point is just that my requirements are pretty widely varied.
tyablix@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’m curious what radio software you use that has these requirements?

Motorolas baby, they really hate users.

I agree with the other poster; you should look into proxmox. I migrated from ESXi to proxmox 7-8 years ago or so, and honestly its been WAY better than ESXi. The migration process was pretty easy too, i was able to bring over the images from ESXi and load them directly into proxmox.

If you’re running a basic linux install you can use KVM for some VMs. Or use Proxmox for a good ESXi replacement.

Or… LXD/Incus.

Fear no my friend. Get get yourself into LXC/LXC/Incus as it can do both containers and full virtual machines. It is available on Debian’s repositories and is fully and truly open-source.

Might be time to look into Proxmox. There’s a fun weekend project for you!
TCB13@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Save yourself time and future headaches and try LXD/Incus instead.
DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 4 months ago
No headaches here - running a two node cluster with about 40 LXCs, many of them using Docker, and an OPNsense VM. It’s been flawless for me.

If you’re already using LXC containers why are you stuck with their questionable open-source and ass of a kernel when you can just run LXD/Incus and have a much cleaner experience in a pure Debian system? Boots way faster, fails less and is more open.
