    Is proxmox a hypervisor? I thought it ran QEMU

    Hypervisor is a very specific term, that refers to the thing that controls all of the virtual machines, and dedicates hardware to those virtual machines.

    Xen

    HyperV

    Qemu

    KVM

    As far as I’m aware, proxmox is an orchestration layer, much like OpenStack, around QEMU

      Yes, I’ve copied the title from their project.

      Proxmox describes itself as an virtualization management platform.

      Proxmox Virtual Environment is a complete, open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. It tightly integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC), software-defined storage and networking functionality, on a single platform

    Ohh, I’ve been wanting something like that since forever!! The way I have things set up right now is I have a nix flake deploy NixOS LXCs to a vanilla Proxmox deploy, so this could help integrate things a bit more tidily. Plus, of course, declarative networking/storage configuration and whatnot. I’ll definitely give this a go sometime.
