However it's still not just plug a box in and you have a hyperconverged setup like Nodeweaver or SCALE.
Neither is Nodeweaver in this case. he's not talking about buying appliances, he's talking about installing software. So far more like Proxmox than dislike it.
No it offers auto load balancing of the host once the application is installed. So it's more like SCALE. I've been through a SCALE setup, it's not autodiscovery. You still need to tell it where the other hosts are even though the software is already installed.

@stacksofplates I have it installs and I was able to migrate my vm's from scale to this system. Seems very good and fast too. I like that you can mix and match hardware and it automatically levels off the diskspace. There are option to auto balance vm's. There are a lot more features then scale. The UI of scale is more user friendly.
You can create virtual networks inside the software. Create vlan, virtual switches without touch any of your networking equipment. Create templates based off your imports. That's what I got so far. I exported my Nextcloud server and imported it to Nodeweaver. Boots fast loads fast.

Can you unattach and reattach disks to VMs? That was a huge disappointment I had with Scale.
-
Yes you can. You don't have to reboot the VM. You can create Virtual Networks with one Gateway. There are a lot of option in this software that scale doesn't have. The main thing is that I can manage it. Every little thing I don't need to call them. I might sell my scale system. IDK .. its from 2016. Don't know what it's worth.

Found out Nodeweaver data structure is a fork off of Moose !

By "found out", you mean I mentioned it a few times above, lol.
Moose is commercial, LizardFS is the fork off of it. Nodeweaver publicly says that they use LizardFS. That's why I keep asking how this is better than using Proxmox with LizardFS which is completely free and fully documented.

Ah, they've updated stuff. This is what their site says: "NodeWeaver takes advantage of an extremely sophisticated and flexible storage layer, based largely on the LizardFS distributed filesystem, and capable of performing reliably and in an extremely efficient way even for small number of nodes and disk drives."
You can always do LizardFS yourself for free, just like Gluster or CEPH.
Here is the original spot where I quoted them saying that they were using LizardFS (a Moose fork).

I am going to setup Proxmox tonight with LizardFs and see what the big deal is with nodeweaver and see how it functions. I will write down documentation if need be so I can share it if others what to do it.
-
A guide to doing that would be great.

I was actually reading about Proxmox and LizardFS.
