In the past, I recall successfully running DistroBox and Podman with VirtualBox.

However, this setup doesn’t seem to work well on NixOS. While it’s possible to get VirtualBox working with QEMU (albeit with some difficulty), the performance hit is substantial.

I've improved the virtualization options.

The user is guided through the choice of using DistroBox and Podman. If they select that option, they are advised to skip VirtualBox and instead use the optional "Virtualization stack: QEMU/KVM + libvirt + GUI tools," which I believe I've configured to work just as well as VirtualBox.

Although, as always, feedback is welcome.

New blog post: Emulating aarch64 in software using JIT compilation and Rust

Does anyone here run a 2-host #ProxmoxVE #cluster with a #QDevice for High Availability in production and can share their experience and recommendations?

#ProxmoxVE 9.0 has been released (#Proxmox / #VirtualEnvironment / #Virtualization / #VirtualMachine / #VM / #Linux / #Debian / #Trixie / #DebianTrixie / #QEMU / #LXC / #KVM / #ZFS / #OpenZFS / #Ceph) https://proxmox.com/

Installing my first Proxmox 9.0 server - ready to test it out!
I'll wait for a few dot releases before upgrading the 8.x ones, though.

For anyone still using or considering the free #oVirt as virtualization management platform: Please don't. It is a broken nightmare on community life support.

After #RedHat has ended support for its commercial spin Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) last year the development of oVirt practically came to a halt.

There hasn't been an official stable release for over a year despite security issues, and numerous bugs. The official recommendation is to use nightly releases to get the latest fixes. Too bad you won't be able to roll back via DNF if an update fails because older nightly releases are gone from the repo.

And yes, nightly releases do break oVirt at times. The latest nightly causes updates to fail because of incomplete dependency changes.

The web interface of the official mailing list is offline most of the time, the documentation is a confusing and outdated mess.

Upgrades to newer Linux distribution releases such as RHEL 9 or even 10 based systems are extremely painful and not officially supported.

Move your VMs to #ProxmoxVE or any other actively maintained KVM based solution.

Und zack, da ist schon die offizielle Veröffentlichung von #ProxmoxVE9 auf Basis von #Debian13: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-virtual-environment-9-0-released.169257/

Natürlich gibt es tonnenweise Änderungen, u.a. ein aufgefrischtes Mobile-UI: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Proxmox_VE_9.0
Ein Upgrade von 8.4 soll nahtlos klappen.

#Debian #Trixie folgt vermutlich am 9. August.

Proxmox VE 9.0 released based on Debian 13 "Trixie", with snapshots for thick-provisioned LVM shared storage, affinity rules in HA clusters, new fabrics function for SDN, support for adding new devices to a ZFS RAID-Z Pool with minor downtime

I have installed ubuntu server on my home server and libvirt/virsh. But what should I use to create a vm in the best way from the command line?

Ubuntu suggests multipass, uvtool or virt-install.

Any suggestions on best practice?

The fully automated Proxmox Cluster!

From zero to a cluster hero - in just minutes! In this video we start from scratch with base installed Proxmox nodes (which are even deployed automatically by custom images / cloud image). Afterwards, we create:

* The cluster (including all nodes)
* Network (based on the SDN functionality of Proxmox)
* Storage (integrating NFS storage & the Proxmox Backup Server)
