Proxmox VE
A Debian-based virtualization platform for virtual machines and LXC containers.
The problem it solves
A Debian-based virtualization platform for virtual machines and LXC containers.
Technical rationale
Proxmox turns a rented server into thirteen isolated guests without putting a provider layer between me and the hardware. Choosing it forces budgeting memory instead of overcommitting it, and deciding case by case: an LXC container shares a kernel with the node and a virtual machine does not, so the agent that builds pull request code is a virtual machine.
How I have used it
It is the base layer of the homelab: thirteen guests on a single OVHcloud server, with memory budgeted and CPU overcommitted on purpose.
