Also a nice idea :)

The M92p tiny is only for retro projects, and at the moment, it isn't  
even turned on :)
My main system (NAS, media server etc.) is a 'microserver' without any  
virtualization (right now). It uses a Supermicro mainboard and a  
Megaraid RAID controller.

I'm thinking about moving the BBS (from an old Igel Thin Client PC)  
and the HomeAssistant (from a RasPi 3) into VMs there, but I'm unsure  
about the virtualization platform.
I would like it to run next to the normal Linux system, so that the  
'bare metal' Linux system can do its things nicely.
Maybe VirtualBox with its headless mode?
Or qemu-kvm VMs launched by shell scripts?

Regards,
Anna
