TL;DR: is it possible to have same/similar orchestration capabilities than using Kubernetes? (Controlling the number of replicas per service, healthchecks, readiness, service creation, mapping config settings externally, etc.) Hi community! First of all, I'm sorry if this was asked somewhere, but I have been half a week reading in this forum, on the internet and even watching dozens of YouTube videos trying to see if somebody else ran in my same situation. A little bit of context: I am building a new computer (Ryzen 9 5950x 16c) with the intention to have a couple of VMs (a gaming one and a workstation one), as well as some docker containers working 24/7 (private cloud, NAS, etc). I'd also like to use it for my own development of backend systems on their own containers, and be able to control for example how many replicas for each service I want, push the images to my own private docker registry (that hopefully should be also hosted in this same machine), but I feel that the Docker inner feature in unraid is more simple, and is heavily based on "click and install" apps from the community marketplace. Am I wrong with all this assumptions? Would it be better for me to somehow bypass the inner Docker feature from Unraid, and perhaps leverage on a huge container with k8s on it? Or even in its own VM? The only thing I worry about having it as a VM, is that it will lock resources even if it is not using it, whereas a container only gets what it needs at the moment. Is that also a right assumption?

That’s sad to hear! I thought virtualization on Threadripper was something more common. Do you have maybe an old Threadripper or trying to setup more exotic VMs?

Hi all! I’ve been researching a lot about different configs for unraid, and I cannot decide on a CPU. I have been contemplating the Threadripper 3960 with 24 cores, but they were released sobre years ago, and rumours say that the new series are coming by March 8th. Another option is the latest Ryzen 9 5960 with 16 cores. The usage I’m planning for, is to have several VMs with W10 (one for gaming and very very casual video editing, one for work with visual studio and few other non demanding programs, and another multipurpose for my partner), along with some containers (next cloud, NAS, home automation, game servers, etc) Basically the idea is to have one single machine to cover all the PC needs of my house, running 24/7 but not full power all the time. Which cpu would you recommend from the listed above? Should I provide extra details/context?
