Without Installing another OS like Proxmox, does anyone know any tooling that will easily deploy VMs on my local computer and deploy software stacks on them?

I only have my desktop for hosting, but I also want to continue using it as my personal desktop.

I’d like to host game servers, cloud storage software, websites for clients. And have a portal for me (and potentially them) to be able to provision).

Edit: I’m just finding out about Apache Cloudstack which might do what I’m looking for.

    Why do you want a full VM and not something g lighter weight and easier like Docker?

        For #2 you just need to be smart about which file system paths you map to the container.

        Do you really want to have guest OSs to think about?
