This should help: https://github.com/Rudd-O/qubes-network-server

Thanks, that's what I had hoped. Traffic levels will be low since this is a 
small office environment and so just a few virtual servers handling small 
amounts of traffic.

I would think it would perform wonderfully as a virtualized server.  Most
commercial places that rent you virtual servers use Xen, and Qubes is
based upon Xen, so . . .

And the separation of server to prevent cross-contamination is a great
feature.

I used a Xen-based virtual server at Rackspace for years, and it performed
wonderfully.

Now, if you have a server that's going to be handling a high level of
traffic, you're going to want some correspondingly powerful hardware and
memory behind it.

But the success of running servers under Xen is a proven thing.

You might want to look into using Xen instead. https://www.xenproject.or

Xen is the hypervisor Qubes uses, and should do what you're looking for.

[qubes-users] Qubes for running virtual servers

2016-08-23 Thread darren . op 
How does Qubes perform as the host OS in a virtualised server environment?

I'm thinking of a configuration where the host OS is Qubes with VM's running 
for things like a virtualised email server, IDS server, perhaps a Tor relay 
etc. I've used Qubes as a desktop host, I'm just curious about whether it's a 
practical host for virtualised serviers?
