Hi there
I’d like a vm manager to create a few machine to avoid breaking my host system when doing bad things
I’ve tried some things:
Multipass
it seems to be the best for me: one line to create and launch a VM, this is wonderful, but I don’t have ipv6 on it which is bad, I like ipv6
LXD:
seems cool, web ui is great, installed, but for now my VM have connectivity issues, self signed certificate doesn’t work on firefox, so I have to use chromium which I hate, I’d also like to avoid using user certificate and use password + OTP don’t know if it’s possible
Proxmox: not yet tried but seems to require a complete system reinstall
Proxmox and LXD might be a bit too much because I don’t plan on having many VMs, maybe 2 or 3, but I really like to be able to manage them quickly on the web
Do you have any recommandations ?
Thanks !
@Salcie
I haven’t tried many alternatives because Proxmox really seems to be the thing people prefer whether they have a handful of VMs or many more. It has what you ask: web UI, TOTP, ACME to avoid self-signed certs and ofc IPv6 support. It has many options which might be a bit intimidating at first especially for networks, but given its popularity finding tutorials should be easy.
You can create VMs but also LXC containers; I’d recommend using the latter as they consume less resources and can be more straightforwardly configured from Proxmox. You might just need to set some obscure options if you want to run complex Docker setups inside but again tutorials help there.
Hope this helps!
seems that proxmox requires a complete install which is impossible in my cas though
