I use Debian stable and systemd-nspawn, gives me the "virtual machine" experience (separate filesystem, init/systemd, network address, etc) via lightweight containers that are really easy to start, stop, and share files between. All managed by ansible. Once a month I bump versions, run ansible, and forget about it.
- packetlost 6y agoI really wanted to like systemd-nspawn, but ran into massive issues with poor to non-existent documentation, bugs (in particular with DNS between 'containers'), and usability issues. Also the inability to reasonably run non-systemd distros such as Alpine further killed my interest in it. Even distros like Ubuntu, which use systemd had to be modified to use the systemd network stack in order to function properly.
- candiddevmike 6y agoFeel free to message me over email if you want some help (in my profile). I can share more details on my setup.
- GordonS 6y agoI haven't heard of nspawn, but it sounds pretty interesting - I will have a look myself of course, but are there any particular guides or references you can recommend?
