For me the push for new hardware was the Red Flag to move customers off VMware , far before Broadcom acquisition, customers were forced to upgrade hardware to get 7.x working , while existing hardware was still in good shape. Customers who choose Nutanix as a way out got stuck in the next nightmare of vendor lock-in. Only one easy way in no way out. Proxmox is the best solution which provides the best options from free to enterprise-grade support . We have moved many environments to Proxmox from VMware on existing hardware and hopefully will be doing the same for Nutanix users in the future.

docker runs good on standalone linux and host all of my containers , I use an old laptop with 4 GB RAM and Celeron CPU and NVMe . That machine run Debian trixe and running 23 Containers very well for over 2 years now.

@Brandon Lee using full host image copied to TrueNAS , Have Slack API built in the script to get the progress and status of copies. For important containers , I do backup DBs and Files Separately is MySQL Dumps etc , also all scripted and set up using cron.

After facing the configuration nightmare as they need time i moved to SDN only approach Switch are trunks only and even un mange switch can handle in emergency . Hardware pfsense and all else on xcp-ng stack. Monitor it using Prometheus and Grafana. Multiple switches because of space issue needed to decentralize homelab in different rooms 🤣

@Brandon Lee Its native xcp ovs stack . For me xc-ng is fastest hypervisor stack . Have tried proxmox on same hardware but it was far slower and laggy. I was using opentsack with koala ansible previously as I was learning openstack at time. I use the Xen Orchestra from source on an old laptop and that serves the purpose , all telemetry stats are collected form Xen orchestra . Physical hardware other than the xcp servers is raspberry pi 4 which run grafana and open telemetry. Xcp have good way to orchestrate the K8S cluster and it is really great. All the backups go to Dedicated TrueNAS

Good Tool Really helped me to map out my homelab physical and Virtual both layers

I tried Beszel a year ago , for me it was not providing enough in depth data , good for people who are happy with simple stats. Docker stats was showing the Host stats , found no difference at time in docker and host stats , may be my bad config . Still unable to remove the agent from one windows host , i stays there no matter what you do to 😀 that thing. Alerts worked fine.
