Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷
Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.
Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)

Why run RockyLinux HV when everything is in a Debian VM anyway?
I just have Ubuntu server running docker on my old workstation which has plenty of RAM to spin up a production-sized workload just to play around.
I’ve setup these images up as Docker containers:
Just played around mostly, I haven’t scaled out any full infrastructure schemes yet, but that’s the plan for the workstation. Container and terraform testbed.
Container host started life as rocky, I honestly can’t remember why I switched distros
The KVM host also hosts a bunch of other random stuff, Debian running on Rocky is just the tip of the junkpile
