As soon as Cockpit can 100% manage a host,
It can now. We switched to it two weeks ago because it is finally ready.
Can you clone through cockpit yet?
I don't see that option specifically on a running VM (lab), Fedora 31. Are you discussing to another host or just an export?
No just a template to clone from. Like you apply any base configurations to the template and then just clone that.

@DustinB3403 Why?

Proxmox
It's not that bad.

But it's not as good or better than any of the alternatives.

It's KVM....so it's the same

Proxmox
Proxmox is just KVM. But we generally avoid it because we've run into some serious ethics and professionalism problems with the company over on
community. Super sketchy business practices, very scammy and I'd never let their software or support into my shop.The idea is weird.. KVM and LXC on the same box with all this extra layers that are just asking for things to go wrong when you get all the features really without Proxmox involved.

But you don't get them. ProxMox has a REST API, and a GUI which a lot of places still want to manage your systems.

Yeah I've never seen the ethics issues that are always mentioned.

I do that with Fedora and Ubuntu too.

The thing that annoys me about Promox WebUI is that subscription popup after login or running updates. You would normally just have to change a setting in file but now its more work.

Yeah. I mean I get that people don't like that, but their product is valid.

I don't use their stuff, I just use the cli because I can automate that with Ansible or Terraform or whatever, but I'd love to have a REST API for bare KVM. Doesn't even need a GUI, it would just make interacting with systems so much easier.

I agree that the product is valid too. I was using Proxmox along time ago. And once awhile I install it to see any new progress with it.

It’s super easy

They'd send armies of employees to write fake reviews to promote the product. And get really belligerent when caught doing it.
That said, it's been a long time and ProxMox having things like built in backups is a big freaking deal.

Certainly. The web interface has always been nice. And while I generally see KVM and LXC on the same box as mostly weird, having a single interface for systems that could be either/or is nice. Learn one thing or train people on just one thing (we use both, just not on the same boxes.)
