Proxmox

#Self-Hosting

Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE or PVE) is a virtualization platform designed for the provisioning of hyper-converged infrastructure.

  • Proxmox allows deployment and management of virtual machines and containers.[7][8] It is based on a modified Debian LTS kernel.[9] Two types of virtualization are supported: container-based with LXC (starting from version 4.0 replacing OpenVZ used in version up to 3.4, included[10]), and full virtualization with KVM.[11]

  • It includes a web-based management interface.[12][13] There is also a mobile application available for controlling PVE environments.[14]

  • Proxmox is released under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3.

Proxmox on NixOS

Currently I'm keeping a sharp eye on the Proxmox on NixOS project

It's a port of Proxmox hypervisor to NixOS which should streamline the Proxmox configuration process. I'm very excited about that because it's probably the missing piece of the puzzle that can make Proxmox flawless.
