with the demise of ESXi, I am looking for alternatives. Currently I have PfSense virtualized on four physical NICs, a bunch of virtual ones, and it works great. Does Proxmox do this with anything like the ease of ESXi? Any other ideas?

    Okay, I think I found a bit of a catch with Incus or LXD. I want a solution with a web UI, and while Incus has one, it seems to have access control either browser certificate based or with a central auth server. Neither are a good solution for me - I would much prefer regular user auth with the option to use an auth server at some point (but I don’t want to take all of this on all at once.)

    I hope it’s okay that I keep coming back to you with these questions. You seem to be a strong Incus-evangelist. :)

    I guess I could only expose the web UI on localhost and create an SSH tunnel in order to use it…? Not so good on mobile though, which is the strongest reason for a webui.

        Thanks for your patience. I appreciate it and I’m learning a lot. 🙏

        There’s a chance yet!

        edit: That actually seems simple enough and should integrate nicely with the rest of my network. Cool!
