Yup, it works great. I actually did it myself when migrating from a centos to debian host. Worked first try, no issues (except one thing that was already broken but I didn’t know because I hadn’t accessed it recently). Containers are great for this.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Virtual Machines- is there a better way to jump start a VM?English
5·1 year agoThis. Cloud-init, or autoinstall for Ubuntu, to get the install done, then use ansible for anything more.
Bind mounts. I’ve never bothered to figure out named volumes, since I often work with the contents outside Docker. Then I just back up the whole proxmox VM. (Yes I’m aware proxmox supports containers, no I don’t plan to convert, that’s more time and effort for no meaningful gain to me.)
You can restore that backup to a new VM. I just make sure it boots and I can access the files. Turn off networking before you boot it so that it doesn’t cause conflicts.

10·1 year agoNice place, but not particularly wealthy, and everything is expensive because it’s imported. Housing is expensive too. Also there’s the tension between the Maori people and the government. And the recent shift to the right hasn’t improved anything.

The apps you list need decent gpu and gpu doesn’t virtualize well.
That’s not really true any more. To actually get it working, especially sharing a GPU between multiple VMs, is finicky, especially if you’re not using the very narrow supported configuration and expensive enterprise hypervisor features. But it is possible, and you can find plenty of articles from people who have gotten it working.
But I still wouldn’t recommend it. I’d give one whole GPU to one VM with PCI passthrough, and let multiple users remote in. Hopefully the apps support that.
It’s global and egalitarian, so it’s banned.

Besides, in the modern era, if it’s not hurting anyone, why do you care? Let them alone to do their thing in peace.
