#virtualization

2026-01-25

Today I've played around with Bhyve and vm-bhyve for the first time and I like it very much.

I've used QEMU/KVM for everything until now, but I'm thinkering with switching completely to Bhyve.

The first VM is already up and will be the base for the Dark Blue Raven website.

#PegaProx as a multi-cluster, node & vm manager for #Proxmox based systems is just around the corner!

PegaProx steps in as a real manager with a feature set that you might already know from enterprise solutions which simplifies and standardizes the management of Proxmox based infrastructures.

Each capability focuses on reducing operational complexity while giving operators full control over clusters, nodes, storage, and virtual machines like:

  • Unified Multi Cluster Management
  • Node and Cluster Monitoring
  • User & Group Management
  • Semi-automated Node Security Patch Management
  • Cross Cluster Migration
  • Virtual Machine & Container Management
  • CPU Alignment over Nodes for safe VM live-migrations
  • Intelligent Load Balancing for VMs
  • Intelligent Load Balancing for Storage
  • High Availability and Failover
  • User-, Group- & Tenancy Management
  • And much more...
Instead of just providing and visualizing metrics you can finally completely manage the whole stack: Creating VMs, adding storage, maintenances, PVE node patch management, DRS alike balancing by #ProxLB, CPU compatibility mode for VMs across all nodes (like #ProxCLMC), Tenant support, API and much more!

This will become a game changer for Proxmox users - especially in enterprises which adds all the often requested but missing functions!

You can already find my first insights about it in my blog post: https://gyptazy.com/blog/pegaprox-real-datacenter-manager-proxmox-clusters/

🕶️ A view of quickgui (to be installed separately, I was unable to install it on Manjaro AUR due to dependencies, dart>=3.2.0, image credit: https://www.geeksmint.com/quickemu-run-windows-macos-linux-virtual-machines/), the quickemu UI. At the top of the UI, the quickemu logo on a white background, below on a pink background, 3 buttons “Operating system”, “Version”, “Download” allowing the user to select the desired OS.

📚️ Quickemu is a libre, multi-platform wrapper for QEMU, whose purpose is to simplify the creation of highly optimized desktop virtual machines even further. With just a few clicks of the mouse, the user chooses the operating system he wishes to run (nearly 1000 editions supported) and the tool finds the best way to do it for him. It automatically identifies the user's hardware, downloads the desired operating system, and runs it in a virtual machine with the optimum configuration for its hardware.

The best #tools for bare metal #automation that people actually use.

In the current age of #virtualization and #cloud computing, people would almost forget that at the base it's still running on actual hardware. The process of getting hardware ready is ofcourse also automated.

Fedi and folks: if I "just" want to spawn a debian VM (a real VM, not a container, because I need the UI) to test certain things that I don't want to test on my own machine, I know there are hundreds of tools for that (vmware, virtualbox, lxc, etc.).

I'm using Debian already.

Which tool would you recommend that has the quickest setup, so that I can remove it afterwards without issues?

(please share if you can 🙏)

National Popcorn Day (Jan 19) is a nice reminder that reliable results come from a good recipe + repeatable process.

At Computer Port IT Solutions, we deliver end-to-end IT infrastructure solutions—virtualization, HCI, security, and mailing—often with a strong open-source backbone (OpenNebula/oVirt/Proxmox).

@lemgandi we usually write them... :-)
But I love working with people that understand me: "I guess I have never seen such a reasonable setup for triple nested ..." - " we could add docker to the debian image we just deployed" - " or lxc"
just looked at the setup and said: How many turtles does this setup go down?"
