I've been thinking of migrating from proxmox to a kubernetes (talos) + kubevirt set up. I recently discovered https://cozystack.io/ which seems like it combines a lot of the things I would have to set up anyway.

Anybody have any experience with it? Curious to hear if it works well or if there are any major caveats/gotchas vs a more DIY setup.

I've got no experience with it but at first glance it seems like a very positive direction for the project:

Collaborate, not Compete

We are proud of our community and closely interact with projects around it. If we build a platform feature that can be useful in an upstream project, we prefer to contribute it to that project, rather than keep it in the platform.

You don't hear that often enough these days, everyone seems to be siloing information.

Yeah they do seem like good people from what little I've seen. The main developer supposedly contributes to various k8s projects too.

It's...alright I guess? I don't know that it's really a good solution for most home users. What's the use-case?

I've been moving most of my homelab stuff to kubernetes. Right now it's a bunch of vms using talos and also a couple remote dedicated servers.

I was thinking of reinstalling my proxmox machines at home with talos, and using kubevirt for the things I still need VMs for.

Cozystack seems like it already manages most of the things I'd need?

It'd also be nice to be able to give access to a couple friends to their own virtual clusters on the remote servers.
