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 !

    I use virt-manager for my lab VMs. Though, don’t discount the power of containers (podman/docker) to isolate and run applications. And lastly, python environments via Conda or venv can create isolated enough environments when doing different things in Python.
