I have a bunch of physical devices that I want to tie together and run various container on. think old lenovo laptops and raspberry pis. does anyone know of any easy to use and beginner friendly software I can use to accomplish this? I was looking at OpenStack and Kubernetes but they feel like overkill - I just want an easy to deploy agent and a web interface I can provision VMs on.

#homelab #distributedcomputing #docker #kubernetes

@redmeat for VMs on kvm/libvirt you might want to check kcli: https://github.com/karmab/kcli

The demo is cli-based but it has a web interface as well.

It can also be used to provision openshift and kubernetes but that’s probably overkill for your use case.

@redmeat if you don’t want kubernetes and just want to manually schedule VMs to machines with a web interface you might want to try Proxmox
@lloydw @redmeat yeah from what I’m seeing ProxMox feels like the right choice. I especially like that any node can administer the cluster so that I don’t need to worry about an always on management server
