With free esxi over, not shocking bit sad, I am now about to move away from a virtualisation platform i’ve used for a quarter of a century.

Never having really tried the alternatives, is there anything that looks and feels like esxi out there?

I don’t have anything exceptional I host, I don’t need production quality for myself but in all seriousness what we run at home end up at work at some point so there’s that aspect too.

Thanks for your input!

    I know everyone says to use Proxmox, but it’s worth considering xcp-ng as well.

      In my “testing” at work and private, PVE is miles ahead of xcp-ng n terms of performance. Sure, xcp-ng does it’s thing very stable, but everything else…proxmox is faster

        I agree that Proxmox VE is better; I’m just saying that people should compare multiple options and pick the one they like the best.

        I’m using Unraid on my home server because it can run Docker containers in addition to KVM and LXC (via a plugin).
