Not sure what that is... > - Virtualization nesting KVM has some nested virtualization support, depending on your hardware.

I would suggest KVM + virt-manager + libvirt. If you need a web UI, you can also try Kimchi. Docker has a different use case than a plain old VM: docker can't do system containers and you would only have one app in one container... and remember containers aren't secure, you need to put them in a VM to be on the safe side ;) Hope that helps, -- Cedric -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
