The
ss-install
wizard is saying the KVM virtualization is required, why??December 4, 2022 at 2:35 pm #3240MarilynGuestKVM is not “required” since SlickStack is just bash scripts… I mean you can run the setup script on any Linux server you want via SSH/shell
but just that KVM is strongly recommended instead of like Xen, OpenVZ etc
December 4, 2022 at 2:40 pm #3242NancyGuestXen, OpenVZ, Virtuozzo… you can try any you want, but SlickStack community will not “help” you if you are having problems because of the non-KVM server
We don’t test non-KVM servers… we believe KVM is the future of cloud servers, at least for next several years.
If you find a bug or config in SlickStack that is causing problems with these other virtualizations you can open a GitHub issue and we are happy to make small changes if it means better support for other environments, but we just don’t prioritize testing them.
December 4, 2022 at 2:51 pm #3243AndrewGuestXen is still pretty good and a very close #2 to KVM perhaps, but KVM is taking over and seems to have more of a thriving and open community:

Why is the market moving away from xen to kvm?
byu/aceofblackstar insysadminDecember 4, 2022 at 2:52 pm #3244RonaldGuestXen is fine but if you are doing kernel-level optimization like SlickStack it certainly makes things easier to focus more on one environment (KVM)

December 5, 2022 at 7:48 am #3250LarryGuestI think Amazon AWS is the only large cloud still focused on Xen.
December 8, 2022 at 8:31 pm #3353AustinGuestVultr is 100% KVM
January 20, 2023 at 9:45 pm #3850GeraldGuestso does Slickstack technically work fine on XEN boxes too?

July 23, 2023 at 7:49 am #6838BeverlyGuestJuly 24, 2023 at 7:48 am #6850JeffreyGuestI remember the LEB poll a few years ago, KVM won in a landslide. Even OpenVZ faired better than Xen which was really interesting….
February 13, 2024 at 7:16 am #12112VincentGuestwhat about QEMU vs. KVM
February 13, 2024 at 7:16 am #12113BeverlyGuesteven Hostinger now claims to support KVM.
Does Hostinger actually have KVM servers? I’m shocked if true
