Hi, I have a home server (basically a NAS) currently running Debian. Basically it’s configuration is as follows
-
debian host running 3 VMs
-
debian running inside each VM as docker host
I just manually install KVM on the host then docker on each VM after creating each of them. I documented the process so I know how to replicate it in case I need to rebuild.
I now dream of being able to automate the rebuild process using config files. I know this is done using Ansible.
But I’ve now heard of Talos… (A thin layer for kubernetes) and intrigued. But I suppose I need a setup for the VM host to achieve automation through config files…
What setup are you guys using?
Thank you.
haven’t thought about it. I guess I’ll learn some bash :)
BTW what is a good OS for the VM host? many here are running proxmox… would you recommend it for this purpose of bash automation to bring up VMs?
Proxmox is built on Debian and is great. My second choice would just be plain Debian.
Okay 👍 Thanks for your suggestions. Think I’ll just stick with Debian 🙂
I use Debian and Ganeti. I’ve not toyed with much else, so I dont know how they compare.
thanks for the info… I’m thinking of sticking with just Debian (as my simple usecase) and use virsh commands…
