#xcp_ng — Public Fediverse posts

Is there any technical reason why one would consider using Xen (or XCP-ng) over KVM at this point?

#Xen #XCP_ng #KVM #HomeLab

So, I wrote another thing. Deploying Kubernetes automatically with Terraform and Ansible on XCP-NG.

So I rebuilt my home-lab VM hosts from ESXi to XCP-ng and, as part of that, cut down the absurd number of VMs I was running. I eliminated legacy VMs. I consolidated. I was ruthless!

But then I discovered how easy it is to use XCP-ng templates and cloud-init to blast VMs into existence... 😆 #xcp_ng #HomeLab

I think XCP-ng may be my new landing place after VMWare. It's awesome!

I wrote up a post on my microserver build using XCP-ng, and use of Network Bound Disk Encryption to keep the VM storage volumes encrypted.

Got a great deal on Amazon for a Beelink SER5 mini-pc. Just loaded XCP-ng on it!

Anyone ever used #TrueNAS_Core or #xcp_ng as #hypervisor ?

How well are they working for hosting VMs?
