What does your base system look like?
I am also currently using Proxmox. On my todo list is migration to Incus:
- works on every Linux distribution (vs. Debian only)
- Community-driven project under non-profit Linux Containers organization (vs. for-profit Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH company and paid subscription for early security updates)
- Maintained by same team that already engineered LXD
- Similar feature set as Proxmox VE, given home-lab case
- Growing popularity: For example recent TrueNAS versions already include it under the hood for VM and container management
Disadvantage - depending on your skills - is, that it currently is CLI only mainly. They also started to include a simple web interface, forked from Canonical/LXD, but which arguably is not as mature as the Proxmox one.
