Comment on Migrating from Proxmox to NixOS and Incus

Comments

I don't get their argument, I run GeForceNow on one of my Proxmox nodes in metal and there's no problem with it. It's a Debian underneath, after all. They didn't need to switch to NixOS to run Kodi.

Also, do they get PBS using ZFS snapshots? Do they get HA, live migration, shared storage, easy CephOS, easy snapshots, quick cloning? Do you really want to migrate a VM from one node to another using the command line when you're in some serious situation?

Sure, for a homelab this might be OK, but the UI does make things easy for a reason.and it's not a gimmick.

I agree on a lot of the points, though, I just set up a second cluster and it took over 3 work days because of how much repetitive work is needed to do so. To be able to just take a file with instructions, adjust it a bit and deploy would be so much easier.
