It's not a production system, just playing with a server @ home

    Yes, if I recall well proxmox set both environment in the same node.

    Thanked by 1vpsfraud
  • Yes Proxmox does OpenVZ and KVM on the same physical hardware node.

  • If your doing it at home, you can install the OpenVZ kernel and then just load the KVM module.

  • as previous posters mentioned (proxmox, kvm+openvz), plus you could run openvz inside a kvm vm on a kvm host.

    since proxmox does it, then I wouldn't have a problem with the kernel.
    I'm more concerned about how to set-up networking

  • I've done the "unofficial" install via Debian and APT with no problems

  • unless you have any special requirements for networking, proxmox takes care of all setups and you need not do anything at all there actually, it will work out of the box.

    @ozfingwe
    I'm not using proxmox

  • once your openvz kernel is up and running (and venet working), you can go for kvm, and then set up the bridge as required. I think that should work without problems.

    I guess I'll have to bridge br0 on a sub-interface

    Yes, this works fine - the OpenVZ kernel also has KVM included (as it is in the default kernel) - I run it myself, though over 2 ethernet interfaces for easier handling of the bridge.
