Would like to split a dedicated into several VPS - What software to use?
Dear all,
I would like to use one of my dedicated servers to create 2 VMs (could be OVZ) for private use on it. Some years ago, I used Proxmox for tasks like this. I want to keep it as simple for me as just possible and it should not be a 5 hours task to install everything. Well, it should be free without any costs involved too. So - is Proxmox still the best I can get? Or is there some magic newcomer that I am not aware of?
Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions!
Kind regards
-A

OpenVZ command line style.
TBH it isnt that hard
I mostly use Docker right now, but for VPSes with ssh access, use openvz and maybe openvz web panel.
proxmox is the best way i know of
Docker docker docker!
Seriously. They've just added Docker swarm (beta) to the newest release and it's amazing.
If you're feeling brave with containers. Take a look at kubernetes or RancherOS as well.
Command line openvz has my vote, easy and low resource consumption.
Proxmox is probably the best option.
lxc is very simple and better than OpenVZ for personal use.
Virtualbox has better performance
No. Actually the opposite.
I presume you've never actually, you know, used virtualbox, for anything serious that is.
Docker is an enticing choice, but if you want an independent kernel for each vm, I'd like to point you in the direction of xen.
for just simple isolation, yeah OpenVZ on cli. nothing else needed. and if you feel like bleeding edge, lxc as @Nyr said is meant to be the improved OpenVZ
I would go with proxmox on KVM or XEN if intend to use a custom kernel or want virtual at a hardware level. You should have better control of resources and settings with either KVM or XEN.
If you want a simple and quick setup with template provisioning, then OpenVZ is your best choice.
Any good guide for OpenVZ cli? thx
OpenVZ web panel is any easy way to get into using OVZ containers. cli is easy, once you know how.
have a look here https://openvz.org/Control_panels
install VZ is easy - https://openvz.org/Quick_installation
adding containers is easy too - https://openvz.org/Basic_operations_in_OpenVZ_environment

@Amitz, I don't know about the best, but I like the stability and flexibility of Proxmox VE (when installed on top of Debian):
Perfect for your private home network setup or private "cloud" as well.
VMWare/ESXI is good to go. You can install pfsense or opnsense as firewall, like that use only one IP for it, and vm machines on NAT.
use hypervm
free and easy
Docker is for developers.
OvZ/Xen/KVM is for men.
So i guess, Proxmox running with KVM is better as Virtualbox?
I personally use LXC to split a dedi into 3 containers to run 3 different websites.
They shared the memory, hard drive, port speed, but had isolated root file system, operating system, IP address and process list. And there's even a panel called LXC-Web-Panel which I never tried. (I'm on debian and they don't support that)
Use SolusVM. It is very good for managing vps. Most of the vps provider use solusvm.
+1 for proxmox
Not for personal/free use.
+1 for Proxmox here too
Proxmox is amazing for personal usage. It greatly reduces the amount of time you'd waste on setting everything up and makes managing your services much, much, much easier.
There are additional benefits to using Proxmox, here are a few that I have found.
1) Spinning up a Windows VPS on-demand to test some stuff out.
2) Easy console access built right in to make your life so easy.
3) OVZ Templates can be downloaded right in the panel, so you can install most OS that you'd need right away. No need to look and test.
There are a ton more, like OVZ and KVM support, resource monitoring in nice graphs, and fine tuned control of the VPS from a GUI just to name a few. I use Proxmox for everything (except providing services, but that's a different story).
From what I have heard, Proxmox is supposed to be really good, though never personally tried it.
it's very good.
