Hi, I have a home server (basically a NAS) currently running Debian. Basically it’s configuration is as follows

  • debian host running 3 VMs

  • debian running inside each VM as docker host

I just manually install KVM on the host then docker on each VM after creating each of them. I documented the process so I know how to replicate it in case I need to rebuild.

I now dream of being able to automate the rebuild process using config files. I know this is done using Ansible.

But I’ve now heard of Talos… (A thin layer for kubernetes) and intrigued. But I suppose I need a setup for the VM host to achieve automation through config files…

What setup are you guys using?

Thank you.

    I use Debian and Ganeti. I’ve not toyed with much else, so I dont know how they compare.

      thanks for the info… I’m thinking of sticking with just Debian (as my simple usecase) and use virsh commands…
