I’m having much better luck with some current projects on Reddit than on any forum. But I generally agree that forums are a better place to store the information. It’s strange, I’m trying to wrap my head around Harvester, which requires Rancher to use many features with a gui, both of these are on Kubernetes so you better have a grip on this too. All of these have faster responses than on some like the SUSE forum (though Harvester question come pretty quick).

For an opensource hypervisor that is HCI, Harvester is pretty decent. It’s easy to get the most basics running and get workloads going. But after the basics, and if you want access control, you are branching out into Rancher, and Rancher on Docker is not suggested for production systems since it is not a cluster. And no vcluster is not production ready yet which might hamper upgrades. Longhorn v2 hampered my upgrade and I gave up and start from scratch, staying on Longhorn v1 for now.
