A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Performance comparison between various Hypervisors (dasite.quattrofan.de)

I spent a few days comparing various Hypervisors under the same workload and on the same hardware. This is a very specific workload and results might be different when testing oher workloads.

I wanted to share it here, because many of us run very modest Hardware and getting the most out of it is probably something others are interested in, too. I wanted to share it also because maybe someone finds a flaw in the configurations I ran, which might boost things up.

If you do not want to go to the post / read all of that, the very quick summary is, that XCP-ng was the quickest and KVM the slowest. There is also a summary at the bottom of the post with some graphs if that interests you. For everyone else who reads the whole post, I hope it gives some useful insights for your self-hosting endeavours.

What I am missing is ESXi/vSphere. Would be quite important for the few people that have access to the eval ressources to set it up.
Same for the BSD versions. I think Beehive?

Sure, ESXi would have been interesting. I thought about that, but I did not test it because it is not interesting to me anymore from a business perspective. And I am not keen of using it in my Homelab, so I left that out and use that time to do something relaxing. It's my holiday right now :-)

VMware’s predatory practices make wary of their products. I’m avoiding it for all new installs.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

Totally fair. Just as a suggestion.

Why do you need vSphere for self hosting?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

You ask for a "why deploy this [software]" in this community?

Anyway...Simply: Why not? =)

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Proxmox does clustering and should have most of the same features. While you are welcome to run whatever you want I think vSphere is getting a bit pricey.

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not even just pricey, but unpurchasable in many cases. Broadcom is really fucking it up

They are just making a living.

In fact, there customers were stealing from them previously.
