I've never seem the appeal of any if these sorts of solutions. It's really easy to just spin up proxmox then build an lxc.
Eh, it is what it is. I have a full family life and a job screwing with computers all week. I don't want to deal with spinning up, troubleshooting, and maintaining a mini devops stack.
I don't want to spend so much personal time to keep up with all the management and config, but I don't think that means someone like me should have to live in a big tech world. If there's a good framework that helps keep things easy to manage and secure for a minimal amount of input and time, even if I could run most of it myself manually with a lot more time investment, there's no reason not to, IMHO.
Hey, not knocking it. If the tool suits the use case then have at it. Just never seen the appeal.
I have those same things. Reason I like proxmox over something else is I have full control. Had too many issues on things like TrueNAS scale where I had control taken away from me.
That's also what they said about Dropbox: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224
Okay?
