VM and Stack Deployment at Home (lemmy.ca)

Without Installing another OS like Proxmox, does anyone know any tooling that will easily deploy VMs on my local computer and deploy software stacks on them?

I only have my desktop for hosting, but I also want to continue using it as my personal desktop.

I'd like to host game servers, cloud storage software, websites for clients. And have a portal for me (and potentially them) to be able to provision).

Edit: I'm just finding out about Apache Cloudstack which might do what I'm looking for.

I'm not sure what your regular OS is but on Linux you can also use Qemu/Kvm to run virtual machines, or docker/podman for containers. You can also look into Virtual Box for a more finished interface. If you want to have something that behaves like the cloud you could also try Incus.

On windows : HyperV or Virtual Box for vms, you can also use Docker Desktop or Podman desktop. I think wsl also let you run services.

Qemu would be awesome. But I'm looking for more of an orchestrator. I'm on Arch Linux. Incus looks awesome! https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/
