Here’s how the Minisforum MS-01 WILL replace ALL of your servers!

Hey! Olivier here (CEO of Vates and creator of both Xen Orchestra & XCP-ng): thanks for the review! Indeed, XO Lite will get more and more stuff progressively. And also, yes, it makes a lot more sense to use Xen Orchestra when you start to have more than 1 host, because it's really a central console able to manage thousands of VMs and hosts from a single point.

Thanks again for testing it! Let me know anytime if you need anything regarding the XCP-ng/XO couple 🙂

Loving this addition to the channel ‼ (was gonna say 'twist' but suppose it's more of a return-to-roots type thing). Your enthusiasm shines through even more than with the desktop stuff. Nice one. Keep it going.

it's not just frustrating esxi has to change it's license,it's frustrating broadcom and it's vendor don't update their src code when kernel is now form 5.10x all the way to 6.8 and broadcom NIC src code is from era when linux kernel is 2.6x/3.1 ,no wonder it can not match nvidia or intel, even chinese vendor DPU update their src code open to audit. this is sad for a used to be a great company

Awesome video fams, love seeing virtualisation stuff

Unraid is garbage! Unsubscribe. JK you do you. I disagree

I just got done cramming an Intel x710 PE310G4SPI9L-XR-CX3 4 port 10GbE SFP+ card into three of these. For fucks sake they didn't give us much room to work with. The card fits and works like a charm, but the only way I could get the four ports in the back to fit was to take off the rear cover. It was either that or cut that extruded bit of plastic on the left of the port opening out. Would fit like a charm if that wasn't in the way. Love XCP-NG myself. All the Proxmox kids tend to tell me that XCP-NG takes too much work to install, but I agree, XCP-NG is more powerful. I am a bit concerned about the limited cooling with an LSI or SFP+ card b/c both tend to get super hot, but I'll probably build a custom case and fit them all in, and within the case I'll likely route air through auxillary fans through the MS-01s. The bit about Unraid being shit is a bit inflammatory for the Youtube community, but I wouldn't have said it any different. It's good for retards that just want a rock solid solution for setting up NFS/SMB and the ability to set up a few docker images without much if any knowledge, but dude, I can't handle the loss of bandwidth from my 10gbe cards in Unraid. Networking is shit in Unraid. I absolutely love networking in XCP-NG…to me that's one of the biggest benefits to using it. Setting up complex VLANS is so much easier in XCP and in my experience is easier than in Proxmox. Good video!

It’s hard when you are invested in a product by training on it and using it extensively and then they disappoint you by making horrible decisions. I hope proxmox will live up to your expectations in the future and allow you to move on from esxi!

fellow vmware admin here. for a single host, i'd recommend proxmox (esxi is no longer an option for homelabbers)…but for more than 1, xcp-ng is better, unless you need max performance (xcp-ng's current SMAPIv1 storage stack limits speed, with the newer v3 forthcoming to improve this). as an FYI, i've heard that Broadcom is removing embedded management in future versions of vsphere, and xcp-ng is actualling adding it with XO Lite, which is limited in features but there in the 8.3 beta.

I love my mum; a sandwich and this video? How did she know?
