@peter @rasos @fairkom Definitely consider #incus. It’s a great tool.

@rasos @fairkom
What about #Incus? I would give it a try.

Is anyone running #windows 11 IoT with #intune on #incus? I'm having a hell of a time. Windows will go into recovery mode the second reboot after joining the VM to Microsoft #azure AD / #entra ID. sigh

Home server rack finally got moved to its new dedicated room, now with proper climate control, sound insulation and a lot less dust!

This runs most of the image building, some CI and the online demo for the #Incus project amongst other things.

for anyone like me who is very very (very) late to the Linux #LXC party, this explains why #LXD has been replaced with #Incus.

tl;dr: #Canonical ruined things with a embrace-extend-extinguish play of relicensing and requiring contributors to sign a CLA to contribute to LXD.

Make sure to follow @stgraber (Incus Project Lead that is very active here and posts regular updates) and the #incus hashtag. If you run into any windows specific issues don’t hesitate to @ me. Cheers!

as always, highly depends on your personal needs. I'm a huge Proxmox fan, but there're of course several different cool solutions. Next to #Proxmox, I also often use #incus [0] in personal labs but I'm also a huge fan of #XCPng with #Orechstra. #SuseHarvester 's [2] approach is also a great solution (similar to #Platform9) if you want to go into the modern world (in the end, they're also using KVM). If it's just single node, I really would also consider #bhyve on #FreeBSD (maybe even via #ClonOS / #cbsd).

One of my favourite features is that because it's a Go binary it can be run as a client on multiple OS'. So i can run it on my primary #MacOS system to admin my nodes running on #Linux.

I wrote a blog post at the beginning of the year about how I set it up on a cheap 1L mini PC (along with relevant configuration.nix file):

In this week's #Incus OS live stream, I'll be looking at expanding our REST API!

First boot of #Incus OS inside of a 64-bit ARM VM!
That's with all security features enabled as with a production build, so full UEFI Secure Boot and TPM 2.0.
