3-Node ESXi cluster with 10 Debian VMs, 3 Windows VMs, and one FreeBSD VM

I use Linux Mint, mostly because I'm familiar with it. If I was to redo it, I would likely just run Debian.

Used proxmox and truenas ended up on unraid and never looked back.

I used unraid for a long while. I recently switched to opensuse microos for a better desktop experience, and it's been fantastic

TrueNAS SCALE as host with an Ubuntu LTS VM running Docker containers.

Original I went with only containers running on top of SCALE but both iX and TrueCharts made it harder to run plain Docker Compose on TrueNAS.

I see so much Debian and no Alpine?

[-] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

XCP-ng hypervisor main box for my VMs, mostly Ubuntu Server but some Alma Linux VMs too. TrueNAS Core for my NAS box.

Might start switching my VMs from Ubuntu Server to Debian soon, we'll see.

Rocky, but I'll probably give Debian a try next time I decide to nuke my install

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I'm currently contemplating switching to Rocky. What makes you want to get away from it?

@melandroph@lemmy.dbzer0.com Good old Debian

Fedora core os (FCOS) vms on XCP-NG with trueNas for persistent storage. With FCOS, vms configurations can stay version controlled and deployed using open Tofu (terraform) and butane/ignition.
