Without Installing another OS like Proxmox, does anyone know any tooling that will easily deploy VMs on my local computer and deploy software stacks on them?
I only have my desktop for hosting, but I also want to continue using it as my personal desktop.
I’d like to host game servers, cloud storage software, websites for clients. And have a portal for me (and potentially them) to be able to provision).
Edit: I’m just finding out about Apache Cloudstack which might do what I’m looking for.
Why do you want a full VM and not something lighter weight and easier like Docker?
Better security and separation of my personal files.
For #2 you just need to be smart about which file system paths you map to the container.
Do you really want to have guest OSs to think about?
Actually I don’t really want guest OSs to think about. Solid point.
