Got busy with work. I have more time this week. But, definitely, I have VMware ESXi/vSphere up and it can do nested virt. I have TrueNAS Core (virtualized) up as well but getting TrueNAS Core, TrueNAS Scale, Proxmox, Unraid, Linux+Cockpit, XCP-NG on BM should be easy though bit tedious and time consuming. I've done RHV/oVirt before, not my favorite and probably more prevalent in Enterprise and Professional environments rather than someone who might be interested in FreeDOS.
