      It’s supports multiple storage types like nfs or cifs

              @VoIP_n00b - only just started reading through their wiki. Currently looking at their use of ZFS and how I'd make that work on my equipment.

                It is almost like XCP-ng but with a nice Web GUI and with KVM. That said I have know of this for a while, I am just not sure what your tie is to it but it is a legit system.

                  Still early, but so far, so good.

                    Had several failures of the VM to restart after a windows induced restart. But now it has been stable. So far it looks promising.

                        They are not. and I just checked it out, why does it have to be such an ordeal to install the qemu guest?

                          What do you mean?

                          choco install virtio-drivers -y

                          That's it.

                            It's only a big deal because unlike any other OS, Windows doesn't include major drivers by default. That Windows doesn't have these baked in is just mind blowing how far behind every other OS out there they are.

                              Okay, it wasn't that bad, but it is more involved than installing (FOR EXAMPLE) vmtools which is just a push from the host. I thought about not posting this because of the heat I may get, but you know what? as easy as you might think it is since you knew what to do, it is not as easy vmtools was. I didn't have to google the process for vm tools.

                              Not trying to lift up any Hyper V over another, I'm just sayin'.....

                                Microsoft is narcissistic.

                                  I don't use Chocolaty. I tried it when I first started coming around here, at the accolades of others; but I just found it didn't easily install or automate about half of the things we need. So I passed without judgment.

                                    so instead of using it for the half it does, you simply dumped it? Why not make life easy for as much of it as you can?

                                      Because we have our own scripts and installers that automate all of the tasks we need. No need to move 1/2 of our work to another tool. If it handled everything I think I would have jumped at the prospect. But there were still hurdles we didn't get a chance to explore, so I can;t say for certain we would have made the move, but I sure gave it the 'ol college try!

                                            You can also, really easily, setup a Nuget repository, since you already have those custom scripts it would be fairly easy to migrate them to Chocolately and have a single installation source.
