for any more complex orchestration I think you’ve moving to k8s or something more serious

I guess it depends in your use case. If you’re taking about “regular” applications LXD/LXC might not be your best fit. LXD/LXC seem to very good for the more low level infraestruture related solutions. In contrast, whatever is typically deployed with k8s that is mostly immutable very reproducible and kind of runs at a very high level.

LXD is more about what might power that “higher level” layer, more about mutable containers, virtual machines and very complex stacks that you can’t deploy with docker most of the time. As excepted people with those needs greatly leverage cloud-init and Ansible in order to get the reproducibility and the automated deployment capabilities that the Docker “crowd” usually likes.

There you are, calling bullshit on my post while deleting your own where you clearly demonstrated close to no experience with LXD and its clustering capabilities. lol

The minimal interface that Ubuntu offers

Once again your ineptitude is palpable. Ubuntu doesn’t offer anything, the WebUI is a part of LXD.

And yes LXD’s WebUI released “yesterday” is objectively better than Proxmox and it does touch storage and clustering.

The point is that you want management, easy ways to create images, backups, move container between hosts, orchestration, network management and sometimes not only container but also virtual machines. LXD does it all very well and if you don’t want those resources you might as well use systemd-nspawn.

They’ve taken over Proxmox. Not sure if you’re following but they have now a WebUI and the entire solution is magnitudes better than the crap Proxmox has been offering.

No. It will become a pain. For 100$ you can get an SBC or, better yet, a second hand HP Mini computer with 6-8th gen i3/i5 CPU that is most likely enough for your needs.

Oh yes, PCI is just so good. The only thing I have against those boards is that if you go for the mid or high-end configurations + case + power adapter and other extras it becomes just cheaper to buy an HP Mini second hand with a much more powerful i3 or i5 CPU from 3 generations ago. Those computer are way more powerful, some have dual M.2/NVME, also come with wifi and everything out of the box and a much more powerful and stable CPUs. The power consumption of those systems isn’t a concern, a 8th gen i3 under low load will not consume much more than those boards.

It seems the business around SBCs is simply to make a board and then make it useless without a ton of extras that will run you close to the a second hand mini pc for a LOT less performance.

TCB13 , 1 year ago to linux in ZorinOS?

Why do you say that? It defaults to GNOME, that essentially had everything out of the box that those ones you speak about have. GNOME’s default theme is also finally something decent.

I’m not saying GNOME is perfect, far from it, but at least they’re no longer using brown+orange as their default colors. Now lets see if they can fix the font rendering once and for all.

Isn’t Debian an easy distro? I don’t get it. Debian defaults to GNOME, setup is easier than Windows, includes a software store etc. what else do people need?

Unfortunately some ISPs are total garbage and don’t support IPv6 in 2023. Eg. lemmy.world/comment/269250
