Edit: wow, this is a never ending comment section!
Proxmox for the the hosts, Debian cloud imagen for the VMs and docker inside
arch + docker for the services
Ubuntu LTS and k3s for all workloads (except for plex, which I’ve not gotten around to migrating yet…)
Hello fellow k3s friend!
It’s okay. You aren’t alone anymore.
TrueNAS Scale
Hyper-V / ESXi for host. Mostly windows with some Ubuntu server.
Currently Unraid, haven’t tried anything else lol
Ubuntu, but I’m very strongly considering switching out to Debian or Rocky. Ubuntu has a lot of really unnecessary cruft that I think I’d be better off without.
I use Fedora on my laptop now, so going the RHEL/Rocky/Alma route for my servers is really tempting. Especially as I’m also considering switching to Podman.
Boxes that physically live in my home are mostly Manjaro. They’re also not externally accessible from the internet.
Anything in the cloud I standardize on Debian. Two distros and consistency makes maintenance much easier.
Anything in a container runs whatever it was built on because porting a docker compose file from, say, Alpine to anything else is just not worth the time and energy.
NetBSD
TrueNAS formerly known as FreeNAS
Arch because why not.
3-Node ESXi cluster with 10 Debian VMs, 3 Windows VMs, and one FreeBSD VM
Debian
Rocky & RHEL
NixOS
