What is your base system in your home server?

bytes-and-pieces:

Thank you for the heads up on Incus. I’m just reading up and it looks very promising; immutable OS, rollback, full disk encryption.

I currently run a vanilla headless Debain on LUKS > LVM > FS, using KVM. Managed by virsh, cockpit and virt-manager on clients.

As you mentioned “immutable OS”: Nice about Incus is that it is just a package to install (on Debian: apt install incus). Unlike Proxmox it doesn’t depend on a bundled OS and architecture (ARM and RISC builds available, too). They still provide a minimal base OS IncusOS , described as:

IncusOS is an immutable OS solely designed around safely and reliably running Incus. It uses modern security features like UEFI Secure Boot and TPM to provide a safe boot experience and seamless full disk encryption.

To be honest, major upgrades on Proxmox incl. Debian customizations like LVM over LUKS always felt painful and risky, so it is nice to have choices.

If I am not mistaken, proxmox disks can be directlry migrates over to Incus via QCOW2 exchange format (given same cpu arch).
