Using WSL under Windows 11 to run Docker, which is also running a container for Linux that is running a virtualisation of Windows 11 is so ridiculously cursed and I LOVE it.
-
It is a KVM in the guise of a docker "container".... An interesting project no doubt.
-
It's not running in a Docker Container. It's running in a KVM backed QEMU VM that is automatically configured by a Docker script. Saves some problems with config at least.

7:34 The entirety of RAM and swap being completely pegged by the VMS's
-
I don't know how you deliver such awesome quality almost every time!!! I totally loved it!
-
Wolfgang, superb video. How clever of you to know this is exactly what I was looking for.
-
I love that you used the same port as Proxmox, and used Proxmox as your complicated example of running a VM.
-
What an absolutely impeccable timing... I was just about to set up a VM so I could update my damn mouse (love you logitrash <3)
-
As an Unraid user I just (un)surprisingly found this image in the Apps. I'm giving it a try and thank you for sharing!
-
Woah! This couldn't have come at a better time! I was just looking for a solution to run a DayZ server, a Windows only application, without needing to leave one of our gaming PCs on all the time. Now I just need more RAM before I can setup a VM on my Ubuntu server.

Cannot wait for the N100 build video! I’m about to build my home server/nas and I’m about to go with the industrial ASRock board. But I’m holding my horses and waiting patiently for your N100 build. Love your content, keep up the good work! ❤
-
A truly interesting and definitely useful video - well presented. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks!
-
I can't believe I haven't came across this sooner, this is awesome.
-
Has a lot of potential in CI/CD for testing code
-
Love your sense of humor. Super subtle.
-
Not sure if you read comments, but great video! You mentioned in your PiKVM video that you can use alternative hardware to run PiKVM other than the raspberry pi, as the Pi isn't really worth it in terms of cost. I'd be really interested in an update on that topic, I believe you specifically mentioned using a cheap TV box instead of a Pi.
-
Thank you for the discovery of this project.
-
I was just trying to solve this problem and was gonna end up using Cockpit to manage a dedicated Windows VM. I hadn’t even considered putting a VM inside of a Docker container. That’s so simple but so clever.

Missed Opportunity: Naming it "Linux Subsystem for Windows"
