Hi, I have a home server (basically a NAS) currently running Debian. Basically it’s configuration is as follows

• debian host running 3 VMs

• debian running inside each VM as docker host

I just manually install KVM on the host then docker on each VM after creating each of them. I documented the process so I know how to replicate it in case I need to rebuild.

I now dream of being able to automate the rebuild process using config files. I know this is done using Ansible.

But I’ve now heard of Talos… (A thin layer for kubernetes) and intrigued. But I suppose I need a setup for the VM host to achieve automation through config files…

What setup are you guys using?

Thank you.

Thanks for all your suggestions! I’ve chosen to go with just bash scripting (given my simple setup) and keep the setup as it is… Just gotta learn bash and virsh :)
