Comment on Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab?

  No way! For just 1 reason: I will have to learn another new thing and replace it in about 6 servers. I value my time and for now Proxmox is fine.

  P.s. Incus seems nice though! NO, stop tempting me!!! I’m already in the rabbit hole with a gazilion of self hosted services and dozens piling up in the to do list 🙈🙈🙈

    Well, I understand your POV… but real software freedom instead of messages asking you to buy a license is always a good choice :P

      Does Incus support things like Kernel Samepage Merging? How does it handle Windows VMs? Does the WebUI give a nice and easy novnc window that just works?

        Yes ksmtuned is your friend. For VMs it can be managed / enabled like any other Linux Kernel + QEMU/KVM running with KSM enabled.

        On LXC containers it may be a bit harder as it depends a LOT if you’re using systemd on the host and containers. It may work out all out of the box or you’ll have to resort to ksm_wrapper in both the Incus executable and the stuff running inside your containers.
