We use cockpit at work. It’s OK, but it definitely feels limited compared to Proxmox or Xen Orchestra.
Red Hat’s focus is really on Openstack, but that’s more of a cloud virtualization platform, so not all that well suited for home use. It’s a shame because I really like Cockpit as a platform. It just needs a little love in terms of things like the graphical console and editing virtual machine resources.
The previous comment is an excellent summary. It is worth noting that there are some type 1 hypervisors that can look like type 2s. Specifically, KVM in Linux (which sometimes gets referred to as Virt-manager, Virtual Machine Manager, or VMM, after the program typically used to manage it) and Hyper-V in Windows.
These get mistaken for type 2 hypervisors because they run inside of your normal OS, rather than being a dedicated platform that you install in place of it. But the key here is that the hypervisor itself (that is, the software that actually runs the VM) is directly integrated into the underlying operating system. You were installing a hypervisor OS the whole time, you just didn’t realise it.
The reason this matters is that type 1 hypervisors can operate at the kernel level, meaning they can directly manage resources like your memory, CPU and graphics. Type 2 hypervisors have to queue with all the other pleb software to request access to these resources from the OS. This means that type 1 hypervisors will generally offer better performance.
With hypervisor platforms like Proxmox, Esxi, Hyper-V server core, or XCP-NG, what you get is a type 1 hypervisor with an absolutely minimal OS built around it. Basically, just enough software to the job of running VMs, and nothing else. Like a drag racer.
They’re obviously looking for a type 1 hypervisor like Esxi. A type 2 hypervisor like virtualbox does not fit the bill.
So our most likely next PM is going to be a massive transphobe. Great.
My sister literally just moved here so that her daughter wouldn’t have to suffer this shit in Britain, and it turns out the same bullshit is waiting for her right here.
Why do Conservatives have to live their entire lives finding new groups of people to hate for no good reason? There are actual problems in this country that need solving, and instead you want to put your energy into being mad that someone decided they weren’t comfortable in their assigned gender?
(and no, it is not new to me that Pollievre has transphobic views, but he at least wasn’t being so utterly blatant about them before. The fact that he feels comfortable saying this stuff so openly is fucking terrifying)
It’s one of the single biggest, if not the biggest, impediments to military recruitment right now. Someone really has to get it through to the people running the recruitment process that applicants can’t just sit around for six months waiting to find out if they have a job. That ain’t how shit works.
This is true, but not everyone gets to use a linux system as their main desktop at work. I’m not aware of a windows version of virt-manager, but if that exists it would be fucking rad.
“How dare this business try to make money?!!”
Open source still has to exist within the framework of capitalism. I am all for building the fully automated luxury gay space communist utopia where people just build awesome software and release it for free all the time without ever having to worry about paying the bills (seriously, I would encourage every open-source advocate to think about how much more awesome stuff we would have if universal basic income was a thing), but that is simply not the world we’re in right now. They need to keep the lights on, and that means advertising their paid services.
When big players like AWS are running KVM and XCP-NG, yeah. VMware is basically the also-ran at this point.
I assume what you’re looking for specifically here is a complete platform that you can install on bare-metal, not just the actual hypervisor itself. In which case consider any of these:
For playback (ie, self host your own streaming service), you want Airsonic or Navidrome, with any Subsonic compatible app on your devices.
You can also go Jellyfin with Finamp, but it’s a video service first, whereas the others are much more audio focused.
For audiobooks and podcasts, Audiobookshelf. It has its own app.
For downloading music, you want Lidarr or Headphones. Fair warning, the music torrenting scene really died off with Spotify, so you’ll probably want to get on some Usenet groups to have good sources for the releases you want.
If you want to add audiobooks, Readarr can apparently handle that.
Why would that be an insult in this context?
You’re basically saying “Hey everyone, get a load of this guy. He totally cares about protecting vulnerable children from harm.”
Honestly, thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate it.
That’s it. That’s the thread. Everyone else go home.
I just heard of NixOS for the first time because of this thread. Looked up some videos on it, and my jaw hit the fucking floor.
I’m currently contemplating switching to Rocky. What makes you want to get away from it?
Ubuntu, but I’m very strongly considering switching out to Debian or Rocky. Ubuntu has a lot of really unnecessary cruft that I think I’d be better off without.
I use Fedora on my laptop now, so going the RHEL/Rocky/Alma route for my servers is really tempting. Especially as I’m also considering switching to Podman.
Honestly, if Ontario voters weren’t braindead morons, this court case would be irrelevant. Just the fact that he fought so hard to keep the letters secret should have killed him at the ballot box.
Oh, shit, yeah, you’re totally right, because trans kids are never born to transphobic parents.
Thank God you reminded us all that that’s a thing that literally never happens. You’re so smart, and your contributions to this conversation are super helpful.
Don’t give her too much credit. She’s copying this policy directly from New Brunswick.
Let’s be absolutely clear about something; vulnerable children will die because of this.
Anyone who supports this will have blood on their hands, plain and simple.
My understanding is that for proper cluster management you slap Pacemaker on there.
