May have to do some testing with this. We're considering a move away from ESXi at my place of employment due to the massive price increases and PVE is one option we're looking at. I've used the PVE import tool a couple times and it worked fairly well for me. I'll be interested to see the results from this tool.

I've tried setting it up today and not had much success. Everything I try to do, such as update Pegaprox or add a cluster results in it saying what I'm doing is unauthorized. I'm thinking. I set it up by downloading their pre-made lxc container. I'm going to delete that and start over with a Debian container where I'll run the install script and see if that works any better.
Using Bottles in Linux
Has anyone used Bottles in Linux for running Windows applications, What do you think? https://usebottles.com/

This looks awesome. Maybe just what I'm needing that will let me kill off the lone remaining Windows machine in my home. I kept it for a few Windows only apps I need from time to time. I need to spend more time reading through the site before I'm sure I can do this.

I tried Bottles on my laptop for one Windows application and it worked wonderfully well.

Enterprise Server Tools
Does anyone take advantage of iDRAC or iLo on their server hardware?

iDRAC is a very good thing. I have one server equipped with it and it's great. I don't have a lot of occasions where I access it but I'm glad it's there when the need arises.
